Exploration and fun are the key words for YES Theatre’s upcoming PA Day and March Break theatre camps for youth ages eight to 12.
Three full-day PA Day theatre camps will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the following dates: Friday, March 8; Monday, April 8 and Monday, June 10.
The instructor for the PA Day Theatre Camps will be Kailin Kohls, who has also led several summer camps in drama and musical theatre.
Enrolment is limited to 20 students per camp. Parents may register their children for more than one PA Day camp – payments will be collected for one camp at a time.
The March Break Theatre Camp runs from Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 15, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. An informal presentation for invited family members and friends will be held on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
This comprehensive all-arts experience offers a varied week of drama and arts from acting and movement to visual art. The program includes collaborative activities and games designed to build imagination, confidence and creative expression.
Students will enjoy learning dramatic conventions such as role-playing, tableaux and stage blocking. Scene and character work become part of the program as students prepare for a final showcase for parents and friends on the last day of the camp.
YES Theatre’s education programs contribute to each student’s emotional, intellectual and social development. Participation also helps to develop their self-confidence and problem-solving skills.
The activities will be led by our newest instructor Sarah Miller, stage manager and education director for YES Theatre’s Young Company program.
Miller is a dramaturg and educator from Whitehorse, Yukon, and Waterloo, Ontario. They graduated from York University in 2023 with a BA in Theatre Performance Creation and a specialization in Dramaturgy.
