Locating A Theatre Camp Phoenix For Troubled Youth

By Toni Vang


When looking to attend a great performance art camp, children and teens have several options. Something that is especially true when it comes to attending a theatre camp Phoenix. Regardless of ability to pay, there are programs which allow children from broken homes, foster homes, group homes and shelters the ability to attend free of charge. While there are also a number of camps in the area for those whom are more fortunate than others.

While a focus on theatrical elements is often prevalent, there are also a number of classes and workshops offered in other areas. Although, while coursework in comedy and dance can provide insight, those with training in all areas tend to get the most parts. Something that is true whether students plan on performing for stage or film.

In some cases, camps offer a number of lectures and workshops offered by professionals in the field of choice. Whereas, others offer a more hands-on approach to learning different aspects. When it comes to theatre, children often work throughout the course of camp to create, produce and perform in a final production.

Most camps provide instruction by local professors or other teaching staff along with volunteers who directly with children one-on-one. While instructors work to provide information through lectures, workshops, play programs and related exercises, volunteers often help answer questions and provide the self-confidence needed when working in the business.

When an individual is serious, it is often recommended that one find an agent or manager in the local area. While working in acting and other areas of the performing arts can be fun, it can also be quite time consuming. Actors tend to spend anywhere from 8 to 14 hours a day on set when filming for the movies, or multiple nights not only in production but also in preparation and rehearsals for stage plays.

Programs like Herberger and others offer an ongoing spirit of collaboration with other non-profits in the area. As such, there are many different opportunities available for attendees, instructors and volunteers. Whether attending, instructing or volunteering, there are places and positions for a number of people in these organizations and programs.

Most often, while instructors lead various courses and workshops, volunteers work to help students create various costuming and stage-design while working to build self-confidence and awareness through a variety of theatrical oriented play programs and exercises. Once children in attendance have the self-confidence and skills necessary, the group creates, produces and presents a number of performances during the final days of the program.

Whether preparing to act as part of a camp program or auditioning for a major production, children having attended these programs often have an edge whether working as children or adults. Not only because of having a past background and performance history at an early age but also because of the general knowledge which has also been gained through these performing arts oriented programs.
