Puppets Up! provides full immersion in the world of puppetry. Under the instruction of expert teachers and puppeteers, campers make and operate various styles of puppets, including finger puppets, sock puppets, found object puppets, and shadow puppets. The week of camp wraps up with a video-recorded, streaming showcase puppet production on the Austin Scottish Rite Stage!
Battle Up! Stage Combat Camp
Ages 10-16
The art of stage combat is seen every day on stage and screen. Campers learn the basics of stage combat using different weapons and fighting styles each day. Participants gain new respect for what it takes to bring combat to life on stage. The week culminates with presentations of campers’ own choreographed fight sequences.
New! From The Ground Up! Advanced Theatre Camp
TWO WEEK CAMPS:
Session One (Ages 11-14): June 5th-16th, M-F
Session Two (Ages 15-18): June 19th-30th, M-F
Campers will start from the ground up creating their own production. From choosing a script, to casting and directing, creating props, set and costumes. Campers will learn about and be involved in every aspect of the creative process. At the end of the camp, they will perform for their friends and family and show off all of their hard work. So whether your camper prefers to be in the spotlight, or the one controlling the lights, there is something for everyone!
New! From The Ground Up! Super Advanced Theatre Camp
FOUR WEEK CAMP (Ages 13-18):
Session : July 10th – August 4th, M-F
This is our From The Ground Up camp, but super-sized! Encompassing four weeks, the scope is bigger, the water is deeper, and the possibilities are even more infinite! Campers will start from the ground up creating their own original show from scratch, delving deep into all facets of live theatre–writing, casting, directing and stage managing an original new script; building props, sets and costumes from scratch; learning all aspects of sound, scenic and lighting design–all in service of presenting a new work to the Austin theatre community. In this four-week camp experience, professional mentors in each respective area will work intimately with the campers to help educate about and create everything that goes into their show, both on and off stage. Our goal is to give campers the chance to explore the many different jobs in the theater, and find out what makes them passionate about their art!
