5-Week Theatre Training Camp for Students aged 12-18

 
Bailiwick teams with the Bricklayers to present 5-Week Theatre Training Camp for Students aged 12-18
 
The Bailiwick is proud to announce the Bricklayers Summer Theatre Intensive, a rigorous 5-week theatre training camp designed to give students aged 12-18 more performance experience than any summer theatre program in Chicago. The program's foundation focuses the body and strengthens the mind. From the very first day, students will create performance pieces in class with weekly in-class performances. We believe this conservatory approach to theatre education enables students to fully engage their bodies, faces, voices, and imaginations.
 
Bricklayers founders and artistic directors Kyle Cadotte, Matt Trucano and Zach Zube lead students in two full productions: the Bricklayers' Youth Cabaret on July 2 featuring original music and dance-based pieces created in the first two weeks of the workshop.  Then on July 25-27, students will perform their own adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. There will also be a chance at a special discounted performance of Dennis DeYoung's The Hunchback of Notre Dame on June 26th complete with a talkback with some of the actors in the cast!
