ShoWagon Announces Multi-Cultural Spring Break Camp 3/14-18

ShoWagon, the Department of Outreach and Education at Theatre Memphis, has scheduled a multi-cultural Around the World Spring Break Camp for March 14 - 18, 2011, at Theatre Memphis, 630 Perkins Extended at Southern Avenue. The camp will teach children about different forms of theatre from across the world and will focus on five countries with their own distinct forms of theatre: America (Vaudeville), Italy (Commedia dell'arte), France (Mime), India (Shadow Puppets), Japan (Noh). Each day will focus on a new country and theatre style with the day's activities built around both. Children attending the camps will learn about the country, its culture, music, art, and theatre through the daily workshops such as mask construction and makeup, crafts, movement, art, folklore and performance practice.

All classes will be taught by professional teaching artists associated with ShoWagon
