Due to lack of enrollment we have cancelled our 2009 summer camps. We encourage you to explore our fall afterschool enrichment programs through Paradise Valley Unified School District.

About Camp

Acting Camp - 4 Week Camp

The Arts for Social Change Acting Camp at CAV is an intensive actor's workshop designed for youth ages 13-18 to develop acting technique and leadership skills in talented youth.

Over the course of each four week session young actors will explore a variety of acting methods and learn skills in public speaking and group facilitation. They will learn Meisner, Method, and Classical/Shakespearean acting techniques as well as engage in scene study, improvisation, and learn key film terms and practices.

Upon completion of the camp, participants will not only have a performance but be equipped with the tools necessary to effectively use their art to address issues of social relevance with their peers in a performance troupe setting. This camp is a process oriented experience focused on the discipline of acting and we do welcome participants of all skill levels. Tuition is $600 for each session.
