Actors Theater of Minnesota Drama Camp for Young Actors

August 3rd thru August 8th

at the Lowry Theater, St. Paul

Acting: not just for actors!
Acting is the art of presentation, the skill of combining message with delivery in a live and collaborative way that informs, enlightens, entertains, and–sometimes–moves an audience. The ability to present oneself, one’s ideas, or one’s proposals with confidence and poise is key for success in life.

Teaching by professionals
Award-winning actors with extensive teaching backgrounds from the Actors Theater of Minnesota will provide a hands-on learning experience for young actors from age 8 to 18. Beginner, intermediate, and college preparatory levels will be offered in either a full-day or half-day camp. Half-day students will explore fundamentals, preparation, warm-ups, and improv. Full-day students will enjoy additional presentations from guest performers/teachers and will develop and present a final performance piece.

Step by step
Although natural talent can be an asset, acquiring the proficiencies of acting is no different than learning any other skill. It begins with fundamentals, which are built upon through observation, interaction, and practice. The staff of the Actors Theater will guide students through the steps to a successful presentation, from selecting materials to creating interpretations to polishing delivery to final performance.

Drama Camp details
The half-day sessions ($200) will be held from 8:30 — noon, Monday, August 3rd to Friday, August 7th.
The full-day sessions ($350) will have an additional afternoon session from 1 — 4 and a theater performance and award ceremony on Saturday, August 8th.
