Spring Break is just around the corner, and the Surrey Arts Centre has two weeks of hands-on activities – led by art educators and practicing artists – for teens and tweens.
The teen years are all about trying new things, so test out options with arts samplers. The often unseen world of backstage theatre production is revealed in Behind the Scenes: A Theatre Sampler, where a script becomes a launch pad to explore different elements, from directing to design, and stage management to technical production.
In Visual Arts Sampler, experts guide your discovery of five arts: ceramics, watercolours, acrylics, printmaking, and drawing with all kinds of different mediums.
Teens who want to play with clay can sign up for a pottery, where they will create items using the potter’s wheel and hand-building techniques, and then explore glazing and other decorations.
Developed especially for tweens, The Art of Theatre Day Camp is the ultimate expedition for arts explorers. Teaming up with theatre and arts professionals, you’ll discover ways to use your voice and body to bring a character to life, and create original costumes and props that will appear in the final performance in the Studio Theatre. Theatre technicians and ushers will add a professional touch to the performance—you’ll be proud to invite your family and friends.
