We’re back with another informative post here on The Front Row blog! As you saw last week, we’ve begun a series of posts breaking down Encore’s upcoming virtual summer programs. As many of us are experiencing personally, Encore too has been faced with many questions and difficulties since we’ve begun working and learning from home. Luckily, theatre brings out the best in us and creates creative problem solvers! We’re happy to share about each of our camp programs and how they will be adapting to the virtual format. Up next, we have Scenes for Tweens:
Ages 8-12
It’s time to take your interest in theatre to the next level! Join our professional theatre artists to take a deep dive into diverse and fascinating topics. Bust a move in Broadway Bootcamp, battle villains in Tragedy vs. Comedy, or be a part of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This is your chance to focus in on what captivates your attention and makes your creative spirits soar!
Scenes for Tweens strives to provide actors with a space to create the stories they want to tell. With a focus on ensemble building and collaborative storytelling, Scenes for Tweens also helps actors develop vital theatrical skills. We will spend the mornings developing Skills and Ensemble and afternoons developing and rehearsing Content. Scenes for Tweens offers a diverse experience for each actor, allowing time with individual instructors as well as facilitated group development. Make friends; make theatre!
