Welcome! The Black Hills Playhouse is so happy to have you join Zoom-Away Camp. We hope you're ready for this theatre adventure, a journey of discovery, creativity, ingenuity, and resilience for you and your student(s)! The goal of this project is to engage project-based learning so that educators from varied backgrounds can introduce their students to the creativity and joy of theatre. The Fine Arts teach valuable life skills that extend beyond the stage, and we appreciate your dedication to Arts eduaction for youth!

 

Each theme includes activies for Acting, Movement, Technical Theatre, and general summer camp shenanigans. Students have the opportunity to explore theatre from many different angles using materials from their surroundins and items that they receive in an individual supply kit, or Surprise Purple Package.

​

For this sampling, you will be able to review the first session. All four sessions have the same educational structure based on different central themes. It would be our suggestion to complete one session and its activities over the course of a week. The lessons include: one (1) announcement video, and three (3) activity videos designed to address different elements of theatre. We've also included some camp shinanigans and Flat Lenny challenges along the way!

​

Know that there is no right or wrong way to use these materials.  We trust that teachers will adapt the materials to meet the needs of their classrooms in ways they think best for their students. We hope you enjoy this Theatre Adventure and we would appreciate your input about what works, what doesn't, or any suggestions you might have!
