Runaway Moon Theatre will run “In the Shade,” an arts day camp, in Enderby daily from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. from July 3 to 7.
The camp is suitable for anyone who likes making things, creating stories, playing music, or performing.
Participants will creatively explore the world we live in through story, drama, music, dance and making things.
During the week participants will make simple masks and costumes, learn the movement and songs of the birds, listen to and tell stories, make banners, and together create a performance based on the true and imagined lives of our feathered neighbours.
The arts camp is planned primarily for youths ages 8 to15.
Join dancer Kristi Christian, who has been dancing most of her life, and has been teaching for the past 13 years, most recently at the Armstrong Dance Academy.
Other staff members include plant lover Teresa Christian, whose native name is Nawstila. She has worked at Secwepmec Museum, in health, and in many other settings. Also featured are writer and actress Julie Ross, who has performed extensively in Australia and Canada, and puppet maker Cathy Stubington (also the director of Runaway Moon).
All four have been part of many of Runaway Moon’s large-scale community performances.
The camp will take place in the community room at the new M.V. Beattie School. A snack will be provided.
Cost is on a sliding scale – from $75 to $125. Ask about family rates and subsidies. Runaway Moon wants to make sure everyone who wants to participate can do so.
