Summer CAMP: Enchanted Forest
Ages 5 - 14
June 17 - June 21
Location: Summit Artspace
Entire Session: $180

“The Forest is dark, dearie, The Forest is dark;
The moment you think that you’re lost in the woods, then you are.
Do not lose your way, dearie, Do not lose your way;
The monsters are lurking not far from the path should you stray…”

― Emory R. Frie

The highly popular Summer CAMP returns to Downtown Akron for a third consecutive year, as Wandering Aesthetics offers another week-long adventure into theatrical education.

Join Wandering Aesthetics’ Director of Education Kyle Jozsa and Teaching Artist Matt Dodds as they, alongside the young performers, explore the monsters, witches, and fairies, deep within the enchanted forest. Using dramatic concepts, including imagination, character creation and teamwork, students will explore the various enchanted forest folktales from around the globe, culminating in the development of their very own performance.

This summer camp will introduce new students to the concepts of live performance while further developing these skills in more practiced performers. Each morning, in his engaging style, Jozsa will use games and exercises to teach students the fundamentals, (Stage picture, blocking, memorization, cues, etc.), along with some more advanced techniques, (Proper use of body & voice, awareness, character creation, etc.). Each afternoon, students will use what they’ve learned to craft a performance based on the theme of “Enchanted Forest”. The week will culminate in a final performance for friends and family.

Students should bring a water bottle & brown bag lunch.

Monday - Friday from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

* There will be a final presentation held on the afternoon of Friday, June 21st.
