ONLINE SUMMER CONSERVATORY CAMP
Next Session: To Be Annouced
“This is the happiest I’ve been since quarantine began. My friends asked me, why are you so happy, and I told them Cal Shakes!”
~2020 Online Summer Conservatory Student
Our team of intrepid teaching artists have been busy developing lesson plans and strategies to make our online Shakespeare Conservatory the most fun you’ll have in front of a screen this summer! Students (ages 8-18) will develop and improve their performative skills by studying with Bay Area experts in such areas as Acting, Voice, Movement, Text Analysis and more, all while rehearsing one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays for an online performance!
If you have questions, please contact the Artistic Learning Dept. at learn@calshakes.org
