Good job everyone. Thank you for your help and enthusiasm.
Notes from the postmortem we held right after:
POSITIVE THINGS WE LEARNED
-These kids really are into it! They love it!
- Help them develop confidence in their own love of theatre (take pride in theatre geekiness!)
- Reminder: These kids do want to be here! (Not everyone wants to be at EFY, but if they're here at Theatre Camp, they want to be here.) Take courage. Have fun.
THINGS WE WANT TO CHANGE
- How the improv workshops should work (mostly a note for improv instructors...more aware of the order things should be taught in)
- How do we prevent wandering? (Buddy system? Counselor escort? Or just counselor permission? COLOR CODING--WILL HELP US KEEP EVERYONE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AND PROVIDE UNITY.)
- Make sure to stick to the schedule! (Don't go overtime...be mindful of how long things are taking and make adjustments if necessary) **Plan ahead...tighten up your lesson plans and KNOW how long things will take. If they take longer, adjust.
OTHER NOTES
- During meals, a counselor can ask one shy participant to make sure everyone else is present (have participants report to each other, keep each other accountable to one another)...be creative in the ways that you keep track of participants
- Remember that theatre people are naturally visual/hands-on types...make sure they have opportunities to be engaged (visual aids should HELP, but not BE the lesson) **Be aware of their level, and their learning types (multiple intelligences)
We also talked about VENUES TO PRACTICE TEACHING
- Possibly use parts of meetings (Tuesdays/Thursdays) to practice
- Jacob's Saturday improv workshops
- Math workshops
THINGS TO TALK ABOUT ON TUESDAY
- Our plans for the theatres (what will we need...lights, floor, risers, etc.) so that we can notify Bro. Ray/the department ASAP
- Perhaps we could ask which theatre would work better
