Course description

Join us for a unique opportunity to improve your skills as a performer and work with students from Britain as well as from around the world. At our 2-week camp, you will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of performing arts, acquire new skills, discover a new talent and work as a team towards a performance.

Taught by performing arts professionals, your sessions will include musical composition, storytelling, singing, stage combat, dancing, mime and acting for the stage. Working from various stimuli you will discover and create characters, plot lines and plays. As a team you will select your preferred show that will showcase your individual skills and strengths as a group. You will then be led towards your performance through compact rehearsals of blocking, playing to audience, characterisation, performance techniques and direction. We are confident that this will be an experience you will never forget!

We have been incredibly proud of the work achieved in our camp over the past three years, and therefore we will be entering some of the work created by the students into a Performance Arts Group Exam. We hope that students will enjoy the opportunity to take a Trinity College London exam and that this will lead to an even greater sense of achievement.

Please note that all students who attend the Theatre Camp at the New Forest centre will be entered into the exam and exam registration is included in the course fees.

As well as forest, it is also made up of heathland, and is notable for its wildlife: horses, ponies, cows and donkeys that you can actually get close to. Our centre is located on the edge of Ringwood, a historic market town and the western gateway to the forest.
