MAD Camp, FCPA’s popular summer arts program, is a fun but intensive workshop in which students learn the fundamentals of dance, drama and voice, and develop their technique in the performing arts under the instruction of experienced professional artists. We offer a structured learning experience in a social atmosphere. Students will be placed in different workshop groups, based on their level of achievement. Faculty and guest performers will instruct students in a wide range of fine arts. The workshop culminates in a final performance on August 3 at the studio, but the skills achieved are just the start — students build a foundation in the arts that will last a lifetime. Faculty this year include: Sarah Reese (voice), Tracy Amick (theatre) Dan Murray (fencing), Ginny Siano-Eck (dance), and more! All instructors are acclaimed professionals in their respective fields. Cost for the entire two-week program is $275. This includes a $20 nonrefundable application fee and workshop materials (excluding possible costume requirements). Students need to bring their own water bottle, brown-bag lunch and snacks each day. Before- and After-Care are also available from 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m. for $50/period. Sign Up now, or contact us for more information. |
