Storybuilding Camp

How do you create a story? How do you choose characters and words, build scenes, make it come alive? Make it sound alive?

Storybuilding Camp is a unique opportunity for children to join remarkable artists in the collective creation of an original story. Start to finish, concept to presentation, from characters and dialogue to a musical soundscape. An inspiring experience that will feed and expand your child's creative mind, build confidence and teach teamwork. Sessions last three days, and are held during the summertime at the Montclair Public Library.

Storybuilding Camp is a unique opportunity for children to join two remarkable artists in the collective creation of an original story. Start to finish, concept to presentation, from characters and dialogue to a musical soundscape. An inspiring experience that will feed and expand your child's creative mind, build confidence and teach teamwork.

And result in a printed and bound story that lists each child as co-author.

Beyond his work for stage, film and television, actor/director/writer Michael Rogers has run youth story and drama workshops in New York City for more than a decade. He will lead the camp. Renowned jazz drummer Pheeroan akLaff will help the children create a soundscape to accompany a public reading of their story to close the camp.
