Hippodrome Spring Break Camp

Join us for an exciting five-day theatrical experience.

This year the students will travel the globe through performance! Designed for young artists ages 10 to 18, this immersive camp invites participants to explore theatrical traditions from Japan, the United States, Greece, and Finland, discovering how culture, history, and storytelling shape performance around the world.

Throughout the week, students will engage in hands-on workshops that introduce styles such as Japanese theatrical forms, classical Greek theatre, contemporary and musical theatre from the United States, and innovative Finnish performance practices. Through movement, voice, storytelling, and ensemble-building activities, campers will examine how different cultures use theatre to express ideas, emotions, and community values.

Inspired by what they learn, students will collaborate to devise an original performance piece, blending global influences with their own creativity. The camp emphasizes imagination, teamwork, and creative risk-taking, making it welcoming for both beginners and experienced performers.

By the end of the week, students will have expanded their theatrical knowledge, strengthened their performance skills, and gained a deeper appreciation for theatre as a truly global art form—while creating something uniquely their own.
