Welcome to our “first ever” week-long Youth Theatre Camp. This camp is centered on Smithereen Farm and Greenhorns’ Reversing Hall Agrarian Library and led by a group of young and highly motivated theatre professionals from New York and California who share our ethos of bioregionalism, self determination and youth empowerment.
At the heart of the camp is holistic, uninhibited creativity. In the incredible marine and riverine habitats of our area, children will find natural inspiration to create their own theatrical performance about the eco-system. Your child will learn creative skills by helping build an artistic community and immersing themselves in an environment of rivers and bays, of seas and beaches, barrens, and bogs.
Guided by instructors with backgrounds in theatre, clowning, and education, your child will learn the basic elements of theatre through daily acting, singing, movement, and improv classes. Each day will be filled with outdoor excursions in which your child will integrate their learning by singing to the trees and dancing with the water. The day camp will culminate in a final showcase for friends and family — a student-driven show that utilizes an incredible handpainted underwater backdrop created by the Artists’ Rapid Response Team during the www.ForAlltheFish.org campaign earlier this spring.
All are welcome to join us for the performance at the end: a youth-led tale of the marine heritage, comedy/tragedy, prospects and particularities of this place and moment in time. Amidst theatrical instruction and show development, students will learn about the ecological history of their area through guided study at Greenhorns Agrarian Library. We’ll learn from atlases, field guides, indigenous accounts of encounters with settlers, from wild food cookbooks, as well as many other formats. We’ll focus on cod, pollock, alewives, sardines, clams… all will inspire the costumes and set design.
Want to bring the whole family? We can help you find accommodations if needed.
Underwater Opera is designed for youth ages 7-13 and meets during the day only. Cost is $640 for the full week which includes lunch.
