This camp will take you into the magical world of paper theatres. Participants will build their own paper theatre, puppets and scenery, and devise a story to play out in their paper world! They will learn all about how to produce a play with scenery, backdrops, props and whatever else can be imagination. They will learn about character development, story structure and how to devise a full theatrical play, using a small paper theatre. In other words, while playing with simple materials, a theatrical story will come to life and play, using a small paper theatre.
