Summer Courses and Programmes
The Kiwanis Community Theatre Centre, in conjunction with the Sault Youth Theatre under the direction of Loretta Durat, announces the 2011 Theatre Summer Camp Sessions.
Camp One, features returning guest artist and Dora Award-winning Adam Paolozza (international theatre creator currently residing in Toronto). The camp is for students aged 10 to 16 and will run weekdays from July 4 to 15. Students will participate in acting classes in improvisation, character work, movement, script work, the speaking voice, character building, scene study. Students will present a one act play on Friday afternoon, July 15. The public is invited to see our young actors in action.
Camp Two, features local educator, composer, and musical director Anthony Aceti. The camp is for students aged 10 to 16, and will run weekdays form August 8 to 19. Students will participate in acting classes in finding the natural singing voice, improvisation, character work, movement, script work, and scene study. On the final day students will showcase their talents in a presentation of “The Attack of the Killer Grasshoppers,” a wildly funny musical spoof of the horror flicks of the 1950s on Friday afternoon, July 30. The public is invited to this performance.
Our guest instructor comes with outstanding credentials.
Adam Paolozza, who will teach and direct in Camp One, won the coveted Canadian Dora Award this past year for his role in the creation of the widely acclaimed “Spent.” He will be performing at the Edinburgh Festival this year. He has taught clown, mime, and mask in Canada, the USA, and in Europe. He is artistic director of TheatreRUN, an international ensemble dedicated to creating original, innovative theatre in French and English. In Toronto he collaborates regularly with Theatre Smith-Gilmour and Why Not Theatre. He is co-creator of the smash hit and Dora award winning Spent, and regularly appeared in GRIMM Too at the Factory Theatre. He is a graduate of the Lecoq School in Paris. He has studied Decroux mime technique with Company Intrepido and clown with Theatre du Complicite’s Jos. Houben.
The over-all programme is designed by the Sault’s own Loretta Durat, an award-winning director, certified arts educator and Artistic Director of the Sault Youth Theatre (in operation since 1988), together with Robert Cooper, award-winning actor, director, retired high school teacher, and Adjunct Professor of Theatre at Lake Superior State University.

A week-long acting camp for high school students here at the Arts Center from July 18-22. These are full days, as campers meet from 8-5 and have the opportunity to learn a variety of theatrical facets, such as improvisation, scene study, character development, directing, and playwriting. at the end of the week, students will stage original 10-minute plays developed throughout the week.
This is an opportunity for any of you with a background in the arts and an interest in teaching teenagers the chance to earn course credit (1 credit of THEA 161) toward your college education. Ii you have already taken THEA 161, do not fret: you can take it for multiple credit, with the ultimate goal being that a fine arts student take at least three (if not all) of the differing sections before graduation (there are a total of 4 sections, each one focusing on performance, technical design, public relations, and musical theatre).
If you're interested in this fun endeavor, please let me know asap. Although the camp has yet to be finalized (this depends on the number of enrollment), at least we can get the wheels in motion.
