Camp Will
Make friends. Wield a sword. Sprinkle fairy dust. Stand up to a King.
Door Shakespeare’s Camp Will is a weeklong adventure full of friendship, fun, and theatre!
Each day begins with theater games and warm-up activities. Groups are then divided by age and experience. Younger students approach Shakespeare’s words through rhythm, playful language exercises, and story drama. Older students work on vocal and physical techniques that enrich the meaning of Shakespeare’s text.
All sessions are outdoors on the grounds of Door Shakespeare’s performance space at Björklunden, and each session is taught by professional actors from the company.
Campers conclude their week at Camp Will by sharing their scene work on the Door Shakespeare stage and then watching their instructors perform on the same stage in a professional production. This year, it will be The Tempest!
