Create art. Tell your story. Perform what matters to you.

​

What if your student didn’t just perform in a show—but helped create it from the ground up?

Over two weeks, in this one-of-a-kind camp, students will grow as artists, writers, performers, and collaborators as they contribute to the creation of an original ensemble play inspired by their own ideas, experiences, and passions.

Rooted in devised theater, this process begins with a group of artists and an idea, rather than a script. Students generate material through art, writing, and performance, guided by professional theater artists from The Precipice Theatre Team, who shape their contributions into a cohesive, polished, wholly unique piece of theater.

Unlike traditional theater camps, this program invites students to explore multiple art forms while discovering their voice and working as an ensemble.

Each Day, Students Will Take Part In:

​

• Visual Art Studio: Students create artwork inspired by a shared theme. This work deepens their exploration of the ideas in the play and is featured in a live exhibit for the audience.

• Creative Writing Lab: Students generate stories and ideas through personal and collaborative writing. Their work becomes the foundation of the play.

• Acting & Performance: Students build acting technique, stage presence, movement, and ensemble skills, growing as confident performers.

• Creative Experiences: Outdoor games, ensemble-building activities, and occasional guest artists (such as movement or mime) bring energy and variety to the day.

• Rehearsal: Students work with professional theater artists each afternoon to apply their acting skills and writing as they collaboratively shape and rehearse the final performance.
