Senior Camp (Ages 14-18)

Camp Philosophy

Accept the Challenge

Texas Arts Project strives to cre­ate the “com­plete artist.” Junior Campers get a taste of singing, act­ing, and danc­ing. Senior Campers choose a “major” field of study, and have oppor­tu­ni­ties to engage in courses and activ­i­ties in all other majors. There is an expec­ta­tion that all campers try new things as they strengthen the skills in their com­fort area and learn to enjoy expand­ing their hori­zons in all other areas. Individual atten­tion along with high expec­ta­tions for the group encour­age per­sonal respon­si­bil­ity and teamwork.

Discover the Process

The study of any sub­ject begins with the basics and the per­form­ing arts at TAP camp are no dif­fer­ent. Campers vig­or­ously study the nuts and bolts of each field of study — from act­ing tech­niques and musi­cal the­atre his­tory to film edit­ing and body con­di­tion­ing. Only through inti­mate aware­ness with our field can we prop­erly work towards our great­est potential.

Realize Your Potential

At TAP camp, we never lose sight of the final goal. Showcase rehearsals require campers to inte­grate their tech­nique with strong per­for­mance skills. Film shoots and hours in the edit­ing stu­dio keep our film­mak­ers guided towards the final prod­uct. Our rig­or­ous rehearsal and prepa­ra­tion process ensures a feel­ing of accom­plish­ment and per­sonal suc­cess with each and every as they take their final bow or watch their last cred­its roll.
