Indian Summer – A Play in a Week!

Long long ago, deep in the Indian jungle… In the sticky
heat under the summer sun… A herd of elephants,
monkeys, giraffe, tortoise, parrot and rabbits roamed
the jungle in search of food…

Drama is just the art of pretending, telling stories, and acting out emotions on stage and that is exactly what happens at our Summer Camp! A week long rollercoaster of fun, creativity, performance skills building and choreographed drama, where your child takes centre stage and unleashes the performer within!

Come and step into the world of theatre with our week long Summer Holidays Bootcamp – perfect for young children looking to explore the magic of theatre! Children are led over the course of a week by experienced industry professionals where they will create an entire play, from start to finish!

Indian Summer is a play that explores the concept of Kindness and its impact through drama games and activities. They have the opportunity to devise a play where they will build sets, make costumes, create music as well a learn lines and map out scenes from start to finish.

Each participant will have a speaking part and will actively be involved using inventive theatre techniques. They will sing songs, learn lines and present a small sharing at the end of the week for family and friends.

Through this project children will:

  • Creatively engage
  • Work as part of a team
