The details:
The Early Elementary Conservatory Program
Jungle Drums by Graeme Base
For Students entering Kindergarten – Grade 2
Monday – Friday mornings, 9:00am – 11:30am, July 9 – July 20, 2012
Performance – July 20th – 10:30am
Fee – $150.00
The K-2 Conservatory Program is a two week program of morning drama activities. Through theatre games, role-play exercises, creative movement and vocal activities students will further develop their emerging drama skills and learn to work together as an ensemble.
Graeme Base’s delightful book Jungle Drums tells the story of Ngiri, the Smallest Warthog in Africa, and what happens when he tries to get the other warthogs to stop teasing him about his size. With Jungle Drums as our inspiration and creative drama as well as other artistic activities as our tools, the K-2 conservatory program will provide opportunities for our students to develop a greater understanding about why it is important to be kind to everyone, regardless of differences.
The children in the K-2 group will create an original performance piece inspired by Ngiri’s story. They will rehearse their creation, compose songs, and design and create costumes and scenery, and finally present the finshed product for family and friends on the last day of the session.

The Upper Elementary Conservatory Program
Story Theatre by Paul Sills
For students entering Grades 3 – 6
Monday – Friday mornings, 9:00am – 11:30am, July 23 – August 3, 2012
Performance – August 3rd – 10:30am
Fee – $150.00
The Upper Elementary Conservatory Program is a two-week session of morning classes designed to enhance social skills and self esteem while increasing proficiency in the Theatre Arts. Through daily rehearsals and theatre games and activities we will focus on skill building and ensemble development as well as basic choreography, character study, acting technique and physical/vocal warm-up skills.
Paul Sills script, Story Theatre is a funny, fast-paced collection of short plays from Grimm’s Fairy Tales which includes such classics as The Bremen Town Musicians, The Fisherman and His wife, and The Master Thief. We will take our 3rd Through 6th graders on an ensemble-building journey using some of the plays from this work.
On our last day of class students will proudly present their work on their own version version of Story Theatre for family and friends.

The Summer Shakespeare Intensive for Teens
Twelfth Night, or What You Will
For students entering Grades 7 – 12 as well as 2012 High School Graduates
Monday – Friday afternoons, 12:30 – 4:00, July 9 – August 3, 2012

Fee – $300.00
William Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night finds Orsino, the Duke of lllyria, in love with his neighbor, the Countess Olivia. She has sworn to avoid men’s company for seven years while she mourns the death of her brother, so rejects him. Nearby a group of sailors arrive on shore with a young woman, Viola, who has survived a shipwreck in a storm at sea. Viola mourns the loss of her twin brother but decides to dress as a boy to get work as a page to Duke Orsino.
And that’s only the beginning!
Our Summer Shakespeare Intensive for Teens is four weeks of afternoon sessions designed to provide training in physical theater, movement and voice work, and to enhance acting techniques, character development skills and ensemble building through immersion in the world of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The four weeks of afternoon rehearsals will also include body and vocal training, theatre games and improvisation activities and will culminate gloriously in two rollicking, public performances of Twelfth Night.
