Orlando Shakes

Orlando Shakes’ acting classes and summer camps are uniquely designed to use theater to build critical life skills in each participant. Our techniques encourage creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, concentration, public speaking, and a strong work ethic. These are the life skills your child will learn that will help them move forward to a better future while having fun at the same time!

For Schools: During this interactive workshop, Orlando Shakes’ Teaching Artists help your students bring a book to life, be it Charlotte’s Web, Interstellar Cinderella, or any favorite children’s story. Students are introduced to the theater artist roles of director, stage manager, and actor. Through interactive games and theater exercises, students explore the story’s settings, characters, costumes, and props by creating a “snapshot” of story elements using their own bodies as statues. Students are then challenged to create their own “spin-off” story that take the characters from the story to new places.
