Experience Trike Theatre’s Fine Arts Camp this February Intersession
If your kids are looking to burn off energy in a creative kind of way this February break, join Trike Theatre as it takes over the halls of R.E. Baker Elementary School.
The professionals from Trike, a professional theatre for youth located in downtown Bentonville, will travel to Africa during Trike Theatre’s African Folk Tales Fine Arts Intersession Camp for kindergarten through fourth graders during the week of February 8.
“We’ll retell the famous trickster tales, Anansi the Spider and Zomo the Rabbit, through drama, dance and visual arts” said Jason Suel, who along with fellow Trike instructor, Chamisa Wheeler, will lead the creative endeavor. “Students will act the characters, learn African dances, create masks and puppets, design sets and props and make African instruments. They will rehearse the stories all week and perform their short plays on Friday for family and friends.”
Camp will be held at R.E. Baker Elementary, 301 N.W. Third St. in Bentonville, from 8 a.m. (7:30 a.m. for bus riders) to 3 p.m., February 8-12. Students should bring snacks, water and lunch each day, while opening the door to a world of creativity and expression.
The price is $165, plus a $10 Trikester membership fee. Registration is available at www.triketheatre.org and at the webpage for the Bentonville Public School’s online folder. For more information, call Trike at 866-331-3681. Space is limited and registration must be completed by Saturday, February 6.
