Myths and Monsters | June 29-July 3
Heroes, tricksters, sea serpents, and storm gods — the world's mythologies are full of characters more wild and wonderful than anything we could invent. This week we bring them to life through theatre, dance, and arts & crafts.
The morning session will be focused on theatre-making with Jeremy. We'll explore:
Acting games and exercises that build characters from the ground up — heroes, tricksters, and beasts of every kind. How do your monsters move, and how many actors does it take to create one?
Story creation and world-building inspired by mythology from cultures around the globe.
The afternoon session will be focused on dance. We'll explore:
Movement and choreography inspired by the gods, monsters, and mythological worlds of our stories.
How dance tells a story without words.
Other stuff you need to know:
Instructors: Jeremy West (morning) | TBD (afternoon)
June 29-July 3 | 9am-3:30pm | Drop-off up to 30 minutes before
Location: 211 N Lewis St, Staunton
Designed for campers entering grades 2-4.
Campers should bring a snack and water bottle, and pack a healthy lunch. We do not have refrigeration.
Afternoon session dance does not require special clothes or equipment, and you will be barefoot. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in.
