Arts Smarts 2024 – Week 1: THEATRE Morning Session – Grades 3-5

Cosplay: Who Wears What?
In this camp, students will explore how stories come together through what the characters on stage wear.  Campers will look at different characters either from stage or film and design costumes for them to wear. Campers will have the opportunity to dress as their character as well as present drawings and how they came about their creative process. This process helps build the student’s creativity as well as support the ability to work in a group setting. At the end of the week, campers will present their costume design creations. 

Campers can register for morning sessions from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, afternoon sessions from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM, or both! (For those staying all day, there is a supervised lunch period. Lunches must be brought to camp and will be refrigerated.) Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Both mornings and afternoons feature a “Common Hour” in which all campers join together for a large group creative multi-disciplinary activity. On Fridays of both weeks, there are morning and afternoon performance showcases and art exhibits for families and friends featuring the campers’ work of each week. Drop-off and pick-up at the Ware Center is supervised by the staff. Registration deadline is May 17, 2024.
