By: Melissa Mason, Orlando Shakespeare Theater Orlando Shakes is dedicated to creating innovative educational experiences that build critical life skills in each participant and encourage creativity, collaboration, problem solving, concentration, public speaking, and a strong work ethic. Professional acting instructors guide students in the exploration and appreciation of the arts, with social and academic skills integrated into the process. Anne Hering, Director of Education, commented, “Our Creative Arts Camps focus on creative play, performing through dance and Shakespearean acting. Young students with theater experience develop great self-confidence, as well as the strong skills in communication and teamwork, that enhance applications for colleges, scholarships and future employers. It’s never too early to begin building those essential life skills.” For emerging and advanced theater artists, The Young Company (TYC) is the perfect way for passionate young performers to have fun and stay busy this summer. TYC is a production program for high school students who wish to experience the power of working as a team in a theater ensemble. Strong friendships are formed and actors practice the values of cooperation, teamwork, and problem solving through the exploration of classical drama. Directed, designed, and produced by adult theater professionals, the intensive rehearsal process includes script analysis, character development, learning basic movement and staging, and strengthening the vocal instrument. The program culminates in a production of Shakespeare’ Summer camps begin in mid-June and run through mid-August. Camps range from $150-$375. Scholarships are available for those who qualify.
