First
day of camp! We spent the morning getting to know everyone with lots
of acting games, Camp Bingo and fun! Afternoon dressing up and doing
skits and pantomime. Roberta ended the day with guided relaxation
for everyone!
Accompanist Joanne Hines was with purple and red and taught two songs from
Pirates of Penzance. Julia taught a fun dance from High School Musical to
everyone who signed up to learn it! And Roberta led a meditation
workshop for all except orange and blue, who were enjoying mask-making
with Jessica, Abby and Sarah (see photo!)
Green and purple enjoyed water games - red was so into their play they
decided unanimously to skip water and keep writing! Scene 1 is done
and rehearsed. We're keeping it secret for now! Nineteen
campers auditioned for solos and all who tried out got a solo or a duet
(for the soft voices). They are all brave just to try out!
Lots of face painting today. Green did their auditions - now
every play is cast! (There are parts left for campers joining us
next week of course!)
Rachel taught dancing and more! We began costuming. Lots of
playwriting and play rehearsing. More water games! Imagination
exercises, singing for orange, blue and First Drama kids. Becky and
Emma led improv games with lots of crazy props!
Pirates of Penzance soloists
(photo - The Pirate King!) spent
most of the morning with Joanne and Roberta - the full camp joined
us before lunch. Their energy was amazing! Green group
has been enjoying arts and crafts with beads. Yellow group made
microphones with Abby and Jessica! Orange and blue got wet again and
worked on their plays! Purple and red are very close to finishing our
plays. Everyone rehearsed. We're all costumed. Roberta ended
the day with a Yoga Nidra experience (a kind of guided relaxation)
based on her new CD.
Orange, blue, yellow and purple
met new campers! Guest teacher Karen Dinehart taught red, purple and
green articulation, modulation and volume skills. She also did
creative acting games with orange, blue and yellow (see photo)! A steamy day
outside the main air-conditioned hall so lots of water games. Red
and purple finished their plays. Joanne was here and Roberta
choreographed Pirates of Penzance songs!
Big
rehearsing day! We showed our plays to each other (purple group,
photo). Everyone is doing a great job. The First Drama Kids
joined Orange for a fun crown-making arts & crafts activity.
Joanne was here in the morning and
we polished up our Pirates songs! We had a "costume parade"
(checked out all the costumes) and rehearsed with props. The
counselors "traded" campers for an hour in the afternoon for some fun
activities, including partner yoga with orange and arts/crafts with green.
Here's a picture of the yellow group rehearsing!
Our
first dress rehearsal! We put the whole show together, starting with
Orange's Princess and the Pea and working through all the groups, the
dances and the song! Everyone worked hard and did their best. The
Pirates of Penzance rock! (see photo) Showtime tomorrow at 2.
Door open 1:40
