Calling all drama enthusiasts from secondary schools in Singapore. Join The Esplanade and The Necessary Stage as they bring for the first time, a 5 day drama camp held at the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Helmed artistically by Natalie Hennedige, full-time artist with TNS, Signs of Fire is the theme of the cam as fire represents passion, desire, energy; words often associated with young people, and should be symbolic of the participants' attitudes towards drama and the arts. The camp aims to provide students with a passion in drama the opportunity to investigate the key elements and tools of drama and performance within the creative arts. Other art forms such as visual art, movement/dance, puppetry and story-telling will be moven into the workshops conducted at the camp. Ultimately, the camp hopes to excite students in their performance-making and long-term interest in the arts.

Bring your intellectual and emotional baggage as well as your preferred medium of expression to this intensive "jamming" workshop, and collaborate with others to create a short performance-in-progress. This workshop is facilitated by Darren Chiam and Sim Pern Yiau.
