ACLT Summer Drama Camp

One form per child please!

Ashe County Little Theatre  presents "Cre8tive Drama Day Camp," a week-long summer day camp packed with fun drama and theatre activities. Appalachian State University faculty member Gordon Hensley and his trained teacher assistants lead these lively classes. 

The curriculum utilizes eight drama structures. Process style drama activities are lead by trained teachers of theatre to strengthen eight areas: developing and strengthening language and communication, problem solving, positive self-concept, social awareness, empathy, values and attitudes, and developing an understanding of the art of theatre.

1. Pantomime - Acting and communicating ideas and characters without using your voice
2. Drama Games - Building group cooperation and quick-thinking skills through creative games
3. Storytelling - Sharing personal and traditional stories using body, voices, and imagination
4. Story Drama - Exploring favorite stories from books, poems, and traditional fun fairy tales
5. Social Drama - Using games, scenarios, and analogy to build social awareness and life skills
6. Improvisation - Games and structures based on interplay and making it up as you go along
7. Process Drama - Problem-solving a scenario as a group
8. Puppetry - Creating and using puppets to perform original and scripted work for the class

The drama camp is at the Ashe Civic Center the week of July 10-14 from 10:00am-3:00pm.  No early drop offs and no late pick ups. Due to space limitations, each age group will be limited to 15 students. Students are required to bring a lunch every day.  There will be some snacks and water available.
