Theatre & Voice Camp

Grades 9-12 & Adults | August 5-9, 2019

Join UW-Eau Claire faculty and advanced students to explore theatre singing, acting, movement and many special topics! Fun will be had by all!

Like our Classical Voice Camp, adult amateur and high school-aged singers and actors will thrive with our fun curriculum that provides instruction and support for all ages. We welcome all aptitude levels! Students will enjoy daily movement/dance, stagecraft and rehearsal times with special interest topics, and a fantastic faculty recital. Learn skills you can use for college auditions, WMEA solo and ensemble and your future career. Build your confidence and your skill level.

Tuition for our commuter camp includes optional individual voice or acting lessons at an optional participant performance at the end.

All participants should bring one or two memorized, prepared pieces for use during the week. A PDF copy of this music should be emailed to catalddm5633@uwec.edu two weeks before camp begins.
