What is Artstrek?
Artstrek is a theatre school like no other — a residential summer theatre
program for teens that has been running in the province of Alberta since 1959. The program, which takes place each summer on the campus of Red Deer College, is about the exploration of theatre and the components of theatre production rather than getting a show on stage. Over the course of a week, participants explore acting, voice, movement, and directing with some of Alberta's finest theatre professionals. This year students will be working on the Tony Award-winning musical Into The Woods by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine.
Artstrek is not a talent-based program. It is for students who are enthusiastic about theatre and who will be focused on the fun of learning and exploring with their instructors and with other Artstrek participants.
When is Artstrek & Who can attend?
Theatre Exploration I runs July 5 - 11. It is for 13 - 15 year olds who have completed grade 7.
Theatre Exploration II runs July 12 - 19. It is for 16 - 18 year olds who have completed grade 10.
