Creve Coeur Whitfield School 175 South Mason Road Creve Coeur, MO 63141 314.496.7800

COCA is located in University City at the intersection of Trinity and Washington Avenues, one block south of Delmar Boulevard. If headed east on Delmar Boulevard, turn right on Trinity Avenue (which is the first turn just past the Lion Gates) and then left on Washington Avenue. If headed west on Delmar Boulevard, turn left at Kingsland (which jogs to the right) and then right on Washington Avenue.

Whitfield School is in Creve Coeur on South Mason Road, between Ladue Road and I–64/Highway 40.

The school is on the west side of the street. Please note: traveling north on South Mason Road from I–64/ Highway 40 requires turning right on Conway Road, then left to continue on South Mason Road.

WELCOME At COCA, we pride ourselves on offering some of the most creative camps around, providing our campers with the opportunity to learn and experience new things, build their skills and – most importantly – have fun! Your kids and teens will find many ways to express themselves – through poetry, dance, drama, sculpture, songwriting, videography and much, much more.

No matter the discipline they choose, COCA campers will experience an instructive and encouraging environment with professional artistinstructors who care about both their craft and their campers. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are coming to COCA for the very first time, we’re confident you’ll find the right camps for your kids and teens.

Welcome to COCA

CAMP BASICS NEW THIS YEAR! ORIENTATION Instead of weekly, Monday orientations, COCA will offer a few evening orientation times for families in 2014. Parents and their campers can tour the camp facility, see where their camp will be held, meet the camp manager, and learn and ask questions about all camp policies and procedures.

Orientation Dates: COCA in University City Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 6:00pm Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 6:00pm COCA at Whitfield School Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at 6:00pm

FIRST DAY OF CAMP Parents are asked to escort their campers into the building on Monday mornings to meet their child’s camp instructor and receive camp information.

ATTIRE Campers should wear comfortable clothing in which they can paint, move and play. Special dancewear requirements, when needed, will be included in the confirmation letter.

LUNCH/SNACK Full-day campers have a supervised lunch period from 11:45AM to 12:15PM. Full-day campers should bring a lunch, drink and two snacks. Half-day campers should bring one snack (soda and juice machines available). There is no refrigerator or microwave available.

Ballet Intensive

Musical Theatre Audition Intensive

Age: 14 - 18 This ballet intensive will focus on the traditional ballet curriculum, including technique classes, pointe, variations, men’s classes and pas de deux. Additional classes will diversify the training, including modern, character and repertoire. This program is designed for students who have had extensive training with a minimum of two years of pointe work. This summer, the intensive will be lead

by Rolando Yanes, Director of Milwaukee Ballet II and the School of the Milwaukee Ballet. Rolando Yanes is a native of Villa Clara, Cuba. While in Cuba, Mr. Yanes was a principal dancer with Joven Guardias Centro ProDanza under the direction of Lauren Alonso and Ballet de Camaguey. In 1995, he was awarded the Silver Medal at the prestigious International Ballet Competition in Brasilia, Brazil. Mr. Yanes came to the United States in 1996 as a principal dancer with Milwaukee Ballet Company. He has been a judge in international and national ballet competitions including the American Youth Competition, DATE Competition in Sendai, Japan and the Japan Grand Prix.

Ages 14 to 18 This intensive is for those preparing for upcoming high school, college theatre admissions or professional auditions. Vocal music, theatre and dance professionals will coach participants in selecting and developing the perfect song for their vocal range and personal style; selecting and delivering appropriate monologues; preparing for and managing a dance call; and strategies for delivering cold readings from a script with confidence. Students will leave this workshop prepared for musical theatre auditions and with feedback on their selections and technique from sources connected to each casting area (high school, college, professional). Students will also get tips on selecting the right photo, compiling a resumè and how to handle the casting interview with confidence and poise.

Intensives

Photography Intensive: Before the Click

Theatre Design Intensive

Ages 14 to 18 Students with a serious interest in photography will increase their technical skills, develop their photographic eye, and cultivate their individual aesthetic through the camera. Techniques studied will include composition, perspective and lighting, and will address the specific challenges each student may face. To achieve this goal, a combination of hands-on shooting excursions, lecture, discussion and critique will provide students a unique opportunity to learn from a working professional. Students will leave the intensive with a series of photographs suitable for inclusion in a portfolio for use in college and professional interviews. They will be encouraged to bring their own imagination, creativity and innate sensibility to their photography - the most compelling photographs reveal not only the appearance of the subjects but the artistry with which the images were seen by the photographer.

To learn more about the approach and instructor, please visit www.halperinphotography.com.

Ages 14 to 18 The visual and performing arts merge in the world of theatre design. In this scenography camp, aspiring designers will sharpen their skills at reading and analyzing a script as well as imagining the physical world of the play including set, lighting, sound and costume design. They will refine the communication skills they need for effective design dialogue in a theatre production. Then, students will create either a set design, including renderings, models and drawings; a costume design comprised of renderings and sketches; a lighting design which includes rendering and drawings; a sound plot or a combination of more than one design element. In addition, they will learn how the stage management and artistic teams help to bring the whole dream together. They will learn what it takes to build or alter the designs they have conceived using the Washington University Lighting Lab and by touring the scene and costume shops. Students will leave the intensive with a full design portfolio for the selected show, suitable for college and professional interviews.

Interested students should submit 20-30 JPEG images of past work which explores a single subject matter. Work can be submitted via thumb drive, disc or electronically via a website or online portfolio (no e-mail attachments, please) to Shawna Flanigan, Director of Arts Education at sflanigan@cocastl.org.

Participants must provide their own digital camera (type is not a consideration) of which they have a working knowledge.

In addition, a basic ability to download and edit images is required.
