What is Camp Connect?
As a branch of our 'Connect' initiative—creating conversations for a more connected community—Canberra Dance Collective is excited to announce our brand-new school holiday program: Camp Connect!
Camp Connect is a four day school holiday program designed to empower our young people to learn new skills in the performing arts industry. Not only does Camp Connect provide dancers and singers with the opportunity to learn and perform their own pieces, it provides budding technicians with a chance to explore, design and execute lighting, sound and stage management during their very own show.
Students will spend the first three days of camp learning and practicing their skills as either a performer or back stage crew member. Students will be taught the skills needed to fully execute and operate a stage production as a their own company of students. Our team will be there to assist them along the way whilst encouraging creative thinking and problem solving.
On the final day of Camp Connect, students bump in (set up) and prepare to present their show to the audience. Their experience will be just as exciting, challenging and rewarding as any other stage show, however this time it's THEIRS!
When and where will it be held?
Camp Connect is a four day program held at Dance Edge School of Performing Arts. The school holiday program will run as follows:
16th July - 9am - 3pm
17th July - 9am - 3pm
18th July - 9am - 3pm
19th July - 9am - approx. 6:30pm
Does my child need experience?
The best part about Camp Connect is that no experience is required! The very nature of the program encourages students to learn new skills amongst their peers. Of course, if your child does have experience in a particular area, they will be able to practice their skills with the challenge of developing original ideas with their teammates.
How much does Camp Connect cost?
The cost of Camp Connect is $395 for the full program which includes the following:
- 3x days of workshops, training, planning and preparation
- 1x day of show - setting up, preparing for and executing dress rehearsal and show
- 2x tickets to the final show
