Myths and Monsters | June 29-July 3

$275.00

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 Charlotte and 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.

  • Morning campers should bring a snack and water bottle.

  • Full day campers should pack a healthy lunch. We do not have refrigeration.

  • Afternoon session campers should bring a water bottle. Dance does not require special clothes or equipment, and you will be barefoot. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in.
