CAMP ASOLO REP
Camp Asolo Rep explores the process of creating a character through acting, voice and movement. Professional teaching artists lead students through exercises aimed at cultivating the tools an actor uses throughout the rehearsal process. Our young actors work extensively as an ensemble, creating a supportive environment where each and every person feels free to express themselves creatively.
The mornings are spent in classes on voice, movement and acting while the afternoons are spent rehearsing a piece to be performed at the end of the session. The performance will be made up of scenes, monologues and poetry as well material composed by the students themselves.
Register today for summertime fun! Explore the process of creating a character through acting, voice and movement. Download a registration form or contact Leah Page at 941-351-9010 ext. 3306.
