Kids Acting and Action Camp! (July 17th -20th) SUPER FUN CAMP!


Kids Acting and Action Camp (CDA/Spokane area)

Get the best of both worlds! Both camps have been so popular over the years we thought, “Let’s take the best parts from each camp and combine them.†Kind of like peanut butter and chocolate: two very different tastes that complement each other extremely well.

Often young actors are encouraged to learn new skills, and with Kids’ Half and Half Camp not only will they improve their acting skills but they will learn a valuable new skill set for the industry. And for those who love martial arts they get to utilize and demonstrate their skills and put them on camera. Their fight choreography scenes will be taped and viewed in class. They will be educated on acting, safety, and their best camera angles for their scene.

This 4-day long day camp includes:

Basic skills for on-camera auditions
On set etiquette and terminology
Improvisation
Scene study
Stage combat/fight choreography
Taekwondo
Board breaking
Intro to Meisner Acting Technique
In addition, students will learn the very important skills of self-defense (for real, not acting) in the Personal Safety portion of this camp. Super Educating and Super fun!

Cost $150
