Sound Effects Mini-Camp
Ages 8 - 13
July 7-8 | 9am - 12pm
You’re watching a sci-fi movie. The villain’s henchmen pull out their laser guns, start shooting and you hear…..silence?
Most movie-goers take the sounds and music in their favorite films for granted, but they’re key to a great movie. You’ll work with producer and musician Chris Loser to sound design a short film and learn all about “foley” – the art of finding, or creating, and recording just the right sound for whatever is happening on-screen. Then watch your work on the big screen with friends and family at the end of this mini-camp.
Improv Comedy Intensive
If you’ve ever considered trying your hand at improv comedy, this one-day intensive is your chance to dive in! Come ready to laugh the day away with local actress and improv comedy wiz Chris Myers while learning classic and new wave improv games that will jostle your brain and tickle your funny bone! DO NOT FEAR! Massive brain growth and rapid development of a positive outlook, self-confidence and personal resourcefulness are simply useful by-products!
A public performance in the historic Capitol Theatre will be at 4pm each class day.
