ACT UP – An English drama summer camp in Prague run by CLASS ACTS

Drama! Video! Improvisation! Voice! Tap Dance! All of this will be part of this one-week drama camp, where kids will go through the whole process of creating their own, original performance. The focus of the camp will be on working together in an ensemble, creativity, and cooperation. We will also shoot videos around Kampa that will be part of our show. And of course we will make scenery, props, and costumes … It will be a busy, fun-filled week!
