First week in pictures!

Rather than telling about every detail of this camp, I thought I’d show a bit of the work and the fun that goes on at ASCTC.


Here are some of the campers waking up the space in the Blackfriars Playhouse, the first evening of camp.


Monday morning, Doreen (one of our camp co-directors) opens the auditions at Stuart Hall's King Theatre, encouraging the campers to make the space their own.


Campers work together in the auditions, planning their wordless storytelling.


One of the most popular workshops is Clown Class…


…taught by ASC actor, Daniel Kennedy.


Let the clowning begin!


Rehearsals are now in full swing. Lysander and Hermia get lost in the woods of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.


Riley Steiner directs her cast in Dido, Queen of Carthage.


“I, one snout by name, present a wall.” In the play within A Midsummer Night’s Dream.


When not working on a scene with the director, campers spend rehearsal working on their lines.


Or running bits of scenes.


Sometimes with a counselor coaching their work.


Every weekend, the campers go see two shows at Blackfriars, and often dress up for the occasion.


This weekend, Doreen led an acro-balance workshop with help from Tom.


It takes great teamwork.


And a lot of trust.
