Windmill Theatre Players is happy to offer funding for Artstrek, Theater Alberta’s summer program.
What is Artstrek?
Theatre Alberta’s Artstrek is a summer theatre school for teens that offers professional learning opportunities from practicing artists and educators in a collaborative space. Artstrek students leap into the depths of theatre appreciation and embrace the creative process through five daily classes: Acting, Devising, Design, Voice & Singing, and Movement & Dance.
Artstrek places an emphasis on creative exploration where each student receives an equal opportunity to participate and contribute. Once they become part of the Artstrek community, students develop lasting relationships and skills that will accompany them throughout their lives.
Artstrek is not an audition-based program. Artstrek is all about serious fun, growth, and development.
