Locating A Theatre Camp Phoenix For Troubled Youth

By Toni Vang


When it comes to an interest in different aspects of performing arts, the earlier one gets training the better. As such, theatre camp Phoenix and others offer programs for children age 4-18. Whether looking to attend one oriented toward dance, film, music or stage, students can get a head start learning about the performing arts. The cost of these type camps, whether traditional or specialized, can depend on a number of factors.

Children attending these camps generally range from age four to eighteen. Although, in some cases, toddlers may also be accepted when portraying natural talent toward the performing arts. Still, as it is difficult for children to grasp different technical aspects and training before age five, four is probably about the best age for a child to first attend this type of educational Summer camp.

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.
