Step onstage for performance! Scamp Company is the youth ensemble that will mount a full MainStage production. The program begins with a fall workshop in which students will be assigned their role, begin honing their theatrical skills, and begin rehearsing the play. Students will develop their confidence, performance skills, and stage presence. The course will cultivate a sense of dedication to craft, respect for fellow artists, and joy in performing. The fall workshop will lead directly into the spring rehearsals and eventual performance run. New and experienced actors are all welcome!
Scamp Company will be performing The Trial of Loki, by local playwright and educator John Keeney.
Skills students will develop during this course:
Ensemble building and nurturing
Movement and gesture
Performance skills, including vocal skills and physical presence
Collaborative storytelling
Observation and listening
An understanding of theatre terms and technologies
