Theatre Seminar The Camp This two-week long seminar is specifically designed for the high school student ready to be immersed into the world of theatre—on stage and in the classroom. Mornings are spent in the sharing of information crucial to understanding how and why the theatre experience is so vital to our lives. Emphasis will be placed upon the foundations of text analysis for the stage, the common vocabulary and concepts of the theatre event as an art form and examination of how theatre is created. Supplement activities will include a trip to the famous Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA. The afternoons are dedicated to the practical applications of what we discover in the morning sessions. Over the two weeks, students will be able to participate in two different kinds of workshops that will include acting, voice and movement, mask work, dialects and theatre design. (Final list of workshops will depend upon enrollment and interest.) At the conclusion of the two weeks, the students’ work will culminate in a fully realized production open to the public. In order to accomplish this goal, the evenings will be spent in rehearsals putting into practice everything we have experienced over the course of these two weeks. Daily Schedule Schedule is subject to slight changes and will be indicated at the time of registration.
Faculty Camps are led and taught by Milligan faculty, who are highly qualified and experienced in their fields. Milligan students serve as counselors and staff throughout the week.
Facilities Students are housed in college residence halls along with their counselors. Meals are included in the registration fee.
