Creative Arts Sambas into Summer with Carnival Week

The following was submitted by Creative Arts:

The first ever interdisciplinary week at started Summer 2012 camp off with a jungle beat! Students got a taste of art, music and theater in this fun, exciting and non-stop immersive arts experiment.

In “Carnival!” students explored the rhythms of Brazilian samba, the costumes of Carnival and the theatrics of puppet shows. Studying everything from the flora and fauna of the Amazon rainforest to the elaborate costume designs of David Cage and Alexander McQueen, students gathered inspiration from many sources to create their unique costumes.

For the final day, campers showed off their Carnival pride to friends and family with a colorful parade of Samba Schools, creative puppet plays and musical displays of the beats of South America. Don’t miss the fun in the upcoming weeks...
