Kinder Camp
June 15 –26; June 29 – July 10; July 20 – 31; Aug. 3 – 14
$125 per session
In each of our four two-week classes, children will learn, through creative theater games, to focus and use their natural ability to "make-believe" to perform a short play for their parents and friends on the final Friday evening of each session.
Production Camp
June 15; July 20
$275 per session
Students in these four-week intensive sessions learn and develop the techniques of stage movement, voice, character development and group dynamics. Because we believe all students should participate in all phases of theater, they also attend basic costuming and makeup and/or set construction and stage lighting classes.??As a fully staged production is the goal, students are encouraged to find creative approaches to theatrical problems. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, responsibility and self-esteem. No experience is necessary to participate; auditions are held for roles in the play, and students can choose to only do tech. Students who will miss more than 3 classes or who will not be available for production dates should not register.

Clay for Kids

Mon. - Fri., 9:30 a.m. - noon
Class Description:
Set those wheels aside and lets get grounded! We will explore clay in a new and unique way, through plaster slabs, casting and printing. The surface of our clay bodies will act more as a print, painting, or drawing. This will be a process oriented class where we will make our own plaster molds, decals, functional and non-functional objects through slab assembly and casting techniques. Come and join us for this jump into contemporary techniques in ceramics. Instructor: Kaletia Roberts, recent graduate of UTEP with a BFA in Ceramics and Sculpture.
Session II
July 20 - 24
Mon. - Fri., 9:30 a.m. - noon
Class Description:
Approach art from a different angle. Shift everyday observations and reuse materials found around us to create sculpture. Enjoy endless possibilities of using recyclables, odd pieces of wood, plaster, paper, and glue, while learning to make molds in order to make multiples. A five day class. Instructor: Kaletia Roberts, BFA in Ceramics and Sculpture
