Day camp for children at the lėlė theatre

What will we do here? We will get acquainted with different types of puppet theater and puppets; we will make puppets and decorations ourselves, and learn the secrets of light and sound control. Every day, we will strengthen creativity through theatrical exercises, learn active listening and partnership on stage, train our bodies, and play improvisational games that will teach us to react quickly to situations. We will also encourage self-confidence and courage on stage, and develop the ability to express emotions and communicate with the audience. This summer, four-day and five-day camps await you. We will conclude the four-day camp by involving parents in our creative process, and we will all spend the last evening of the camp creatively together. And we will end the five-day camp by creating a play – during this process, children will learn to manage stage fright and express their creativity.

In this camp, your children will meet new friends, have new experiences, and acquire new skills. By developing self-confidence and trust in each other, a sense of the stage, and communication skills, we will discover the joy of creating together!
