Through mock auditions and personalized feedback, refine technique, build resilience, and leave with a toolkit that makes every audition feel like an opportunity rather than an obstacle.

Session 5 Acting Academy 7-12: Directing Intensive

$375

with Joey Price

Calendar Jul 6, 2026 at 9 am, runs for 1 week

Grades 7-12

Session 5, July 6-10 2026

"What even IS directing," you're asking yourself. In this camp, we set out to answer that question as we focus on the various facets of directing a show. From script analysis, to staging and blocking, to collaborating with actors and designers, we'll untangle the many duties that a director is tasked with. In this process-oriented workshop, students will serve as both actors and directors to help bring each other's visions to life.

These camps are geared towards students who want a faster paced "rehearsal & performance" experience. Classes will primarily emphasize acting, though other theatrical elements (playwriting, movement, auditioning, etc) may be included.
