Awareness, Compassion and Expression.
​
Steeped in the belief that every child has the power to change the world, The Playhouse Workshop prides itself in yet another innovative week of fun.
After several successful Holiday camps, the StageCraft camp takes on yet another exciting concept; focusing on the world of theatre!
​
Students will explore various aspects of Theatre, Art and Craft. Our star feature of this camp being Shadow Puppet Theatre.
​
Our camp facilitators are qualified educators and most of all, love what they do!
​
Awareness
Acting & Improvisation
A favourite, Dramatic Arts is something that will be at the forefront of StageCraft holiday camp.
Through various technical tools, the children will learn to act, devise and improvise while learning self-confidence and teamwork.
​
The inner Actor will come shining through as the children experience kineasthetic, spatial and self-awareness and make meaningful connections.
Compassion
Puppet Theatre
Shadow puppetry has been around for over 2000 yrs. We bring this ancient theatre form to our participants, while they learn about some history and culture of this discipline.
Each child will be the puppet master telling their own story with the puppet box and puppets they make.
​
Children will learn to coordinate narration to puppet movement and work on sound and lighting to enhance their performance.
Story-Telling Yoga
Fun and interactive sessions focusing on breath awareness, movement and storytelling, featuring live music (didgeridoo, singing bowls,etc!), spoken word and poetic affirmations.

These exciting lessons are designed to develop motor-skills, balance, concentration and body awareness.
​
Using traditional Tai Chi, Yoga postures and self-massage techniques, participants will learn creative ways to improve flexibility and self confidence.
Expression
Mixed-Media Art Galley
Creativity will begin at their fingertips as the children their very own shadow puppet box, puppets and everything they need to bring their theatre alive.
In collaboration with the theatre activities, participants will imagine and innovate magnificent theatre items to be used in their work on stage.
This includes a fun Paper-Mache mask making session!
We want everyone to free the Artist in them! Every child will design and paint their own mixed-media lazy-susan to take home.
Theatre Sports
A little friendly competition could be fun for sure! Theatre sports is all about team work and trust.
Children will be divided into groups and attempt friendly challenges with theatre and improvisation games.
​
These activities promotes intuitive use of spatial relational and kinaesthetic awareness in the participants.
​
It will be an hour filled with fun, charged with adrenaline and a great big release of a cocktail of happy chemicals in brain!
