A Noise Within will present its three-week Summer With Shakespeare program for youth ages 10 to 18, June 25 – July 14. The goal of the program is to demystify Shakespeare’s verse and groom young artists to be Shakespearean performers. On a deeper level, this camp illuminates a connection to the patterns of the human condition inherent in Shakespeare’s works. Summer With Shakespeare, a conservatory-style program of acting, improvisation, stage diction, text analysis, kinetic exercises and stage combat, is led by classically-trained, professional actors, choreographers and designers. Participants will gain appreciation for Shakespeare’s verse and build self-confidence on the stage. At the program’s conclusion, they will perform scenes and monologues from Shakespeare’s plays for an audience on A Noise Within’s main stage.
Two registration options include Full Day, from 10 am to 4 pm, and Summer School Special, from 1 pm to 4 pm. The cost for either session is $825. Single weeks are also available in the mornings, and before- and after-care are offered. Registration deadline is June 18, 2012. Space is limited. A Noise Within is located at 3352 E. Foothill Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91107. To register for Summer With Shakespeare or for questions, call 626-356-3104 or visit www.anoisewithin.org.
