This year, we are offering two new exciting full-day summer camps! The first option is a Storytelling camp where Dara trains actors to use their voices, bodies, and words (or the lack thereof) to tell stories effectively. This camp covers physical performance, space work, text analysis, creative writing, voiceover, ensemble, and choral speaking. This multi-dimensional course is perfect for those who want to expand on their creativity or dip their toe into what it's like to be an actor.
The second option is our 'Simulated Show' camp where Dara will take students through the entire process of what it's like to be on a real-life television show! Having worked as lead and recurring roles on shows for Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Freeform, Dara knows the ins and outs of what the actor experiences when making TV! From casting to performing in front of a live audience, students will better understand entertainment and have a well-rounded experience of what it's like to work in one of the world's most exciting industries.
