“Set the Scene” Theatre Prop Summer Camp: Presented by NOCCA

Step behind the curtain and into the world of creativity with Set the Scene Camp, a collaborative summer camp presented by the Imperial Calcasieu Museum and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts! Held in the Annex Gallery at the Imperial Calcasieu Museum, this immersive 5 day experience invites students ages 12–17 to explore the exciting behind the scenes world of entertainment and production design.
Throughout the week, campers will dive into hands on projects centered around theater, storytelling, scenic environments, costume concepts, prop fabrication, model building, and visual presentation. Students will learn how ideas move from imagination to reality while developing artistic, technical, and collaborative skills in a fun and encouraging atmosphere.
Guided by industry inspired techniques, participants will gain experience in research and concept development, scenic painting, prop making, costume design, and presentation skills while creating their own unique theatrical designs and creative projects.
