Long Lake Camp for the Arts is currently hiring staff for their summer camp.
This is an awesome opportunity for anyone who’s interested in working with kids and teaching their trade, plus you get your own studio space. The age range of kids is 10-16 years old. As a teacher you would also be a bunk counselor, which means you would share a bunk with another counselor and thirteen kids, all in one age group. Camp is ten weeks long and you get full room and board, plus a paycheck.
Grace Johnston, a current VCUarts student, comments on her experience:
“Let me tell you, it was the BEST summer of my life. Really, I sound like a walking advert, but I can’t even express how incredible and life-changing this camp is.”

The Departments of Theater and Dance and the Office of International Education are pleased to offer a journey to two destinations in Europe.
During the first two weeks of the trip, students will be living in Belgrade, Serbia while doing intensive study (seven hours a day) of Grotowski/Barba based acting with the world renowned DAH Theatre in their studio. During this time, we will be joined by British voice trainer, Frankie Armstrong, and will explore the Agamemnon/Clytemnestra/Iphigenia story using text from The Greeks. Out of these explorations we will create a devised theatre/movement piece directed by DAH’s Dijana Milosovec which we will then take to Greece to perform in ancient ruins in the Peloponnesis. While in Belgrade, in the evenings we will attend lectures, demonstrations and performances. On our final day in Belgrade we shall take a silent walk through the ruins of Kalemegdan, an ancient Roman/Turkish fortress that overlooks the intersection of the Danube and Sava Rivers. In Belgrade, students will live with families and learn about their culture.
On June 6th we will fly to Athens, Greece where we will immediately begin our tour of Mycenae, Epidaurus, Argos and Delphi, among other locations related to the story of the Trojan War. Where possible, we will perform our devised piece, experimenting with the acoustics of the open air spaces.
Course and Credit Options:
3-6 undergraduate or graduate credits in THEA 340, 341, 640, 641 or in DANC 491 (for 3 or 6 credits)
Course Description: This program will expose students to exciting new concepts of European theatre and dance through physically, vocally and psychologically intensive workshop situations.
