CAMP ENCORE Ages 13-17

Lotsa Lazzi!

Join director Kate Magill Robinson and the Camp Encore troupe leaders on a hilarious exploration of the raucous roots of western comedy. Commedia dell’ arte originated in the Italian Renaissance with stock comic characters and recognizable comic bits (called lazzi). It permeated European theatre for several hundred years and has inspired theatre artists from Shakespeare to Saturday Night Live. In this ensemble-based camp, students will take on stock characters and play with Lotsa Lazzi, as we explore what makes us laugh and learn to build a performance driven by physicality, music, dance, rollicking scenarios and slapstick comedy. So bring your funny, and let’s play.

At the end of the camp session, campers will present a live theater performance at the Greenbelt Arts Center. Students unable to attend the entire session may enroll, but their participation in the shows may be limited. If your camper has significant schedule conflicts with the camp schedule, please consult Kate at katemagill3@gmail.com before enrolling. Attendance in the final week and at both shows is mandatory to enroll.

A four-week pass to the Greenbelt Aquatic and Fitness Center is included with tuition.

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

TIME: 9:30am-3:30pm (Note that camp will extend until 6:00 pm on July 11 for our late afternoon performance for parents.)

CREATIVE KIDS CAMP Ages 6-12

For Summer 2014, CKC proudly presents an all-new show: MESSAGE TO TOMORROW

She’s BACK! Wonderful, irrepressible Grandma from Magic In The Attic, who helped kids use their imaginations to bring an attic full of toys to life, returns to Creative Kids Camp this summer, with a brand-new show full of old-fashioned fun! She’s here to help the Up-to-date family, whose members are addicted to their cellphones – they even use them to say “Pass the salt” at the dinner table! Grandma intervenes with some vintage fun and games, teaching the Up-to-dates to party like it’s 1938 – and to emulate Greenbelt’s founders by creating a living legacy that sends a Message To Tomorrow.

The magic of art and performance unfolds for campers at the Greenbelt Community Center, where they are mentored by teaching artists and enthusiastic counselors as they explore theater, movement, music, ceramics, and visual art. At the end of each session, campers will present a live musical theater performance at the Greenbelt Arts Center. Self-confidence, coordination, and presentation skills are among the developmental benefits that come with performing in the CKC musical.

This camp is ideal for the camper who prefers creating to competing. Campers experience the joy of collaborating as a community as they jointly create the imaginary world of the camp show. Campers enjoy supervised free swim twice per week. There are no field trips.

AGES: 6-12

LOCATION: The Greenbelt Community Center – 15 Crescent Road, Greenbelt
