Summer Camp
Barley Sheaf Creative Drama Camp
Brought to you by
The Brandywine Learning Center
Creative drama by nature is meant to be geared towards the development of actors. This is different than theater which is meant to be performed. Our camp's structure is based upon creative drama with the added bonus of a performance at the end of the week. Throughout the week, young actors grow as they learn and practice dramatic skills such as improvisation and elements of stage presence. Preparing for the end-of-week performance gives young actors a venue to which they can apply their skills. A performance also lends a sense of energy and excitement to the week. The extensive costume room and backstage magic mesmerize our students year after year.
To remain truer to the philosophy of creative drama, we approach the performance through improvisation. Rather than being tied to a script, we teach children to understand what their character needs to accomplish in a scene. Often, when a young actor forgets a memorized line or even a word from a script, they have difficulty moving forward in that scene. Improvisation, alternatively, teaches actors to be flexible, providing freedom to substitute different words for the same result.
Every week is unique. No experience is necessary.
All camps are located at The Barley Sheaf Playhouse: 810 N Whitford Rd, Lionville PA 19353
