Join us this summer for an immersive ecotheatre experience. This is more than a summer camp. It's an opportunity to spend 10 unforgettable days in a welcoming, stunningly beautiful, place where you can have fun, be inspired and feel fully yourself. Everyone will have a role, from devising as an ensemble to directing, from script writing to music making. Together you will experience nature quests, physical theatre, improvisation and the process of devising a new piece of theatre. It is not necessary to have any stage experience, but if you do, you will deepen your skillset. By the end of the camp you’ll have gained confidence, made real friends and created something extraordinary together. You’ll be invited to perform your original production in the local community, allowing your creativity, depth & authenticity to shine!
For many young people, this will be their first chance to work closely with a theatre practitioner of genuine international distinction, in a small, supportive group where every participant is known, encouraged and given individual attention. Laura Pasetti brings together the highest standards of professional theatre with a deep commitment to nurturing creativity, confidence and authentic self-expression in every young person she teaches. She trained and performed under Giorgio Strehler at Piccolo Teatro di Milano, worked with directors including Luca Ronconi, Massimo Castri and Robert Wilson, held lead roles at Teatro di Roma and Teatro Stabile di Torino, taught at La Scala and Piccolo Teatro's acting schools for over a decade, and has won major Italian acting awards including the Anna Magnani Award.
Summer Camp participants will be housed in the cosy Findhorn Village Hostel. The hostel itself has a prestigious four stars from the Scottish Tourism Board. It is a sturdy stone building converted from a former village school. It has separate male and female rooms with bunk beds. There is also a fully-equipped kitchen available in the hostel, as well as Wi-Fi which is accessible for when the teenagers need to update their parents or guardians. Findhorn Village, where the hostel is located, is a quaint former fishing village and one of the most desired places in Scotland for holidaymakers. Immediately outside the hostel is the iconic Findhorn Bay, from which sailing boats, kayakers and wind-surfers enter the nearby North Sea. Seals can be heard singing and are regularly seen up close on the beach.
