BCT Summer Camp registration is happening now!

We've got July all planned out for many wonderfully wacky outdoor theatrical experiences for campers ages 7-15. A delightful thing about BCT is the friendships that are fostered between age groups (we like to call it "Big Sister/Big Brother"), and we have proof that those friendships last all the way through college and beyond.

Here's what we've got planned for summer:

JULY 8-12: RANDOM ACTS & SNEAKY SET-UPS. Last year we had two dozen kids flash-mobbing, creating "celebrities" out of the average Bellinghamster, and singing to riders on the city bus. It's fun-filled mischief that brings out the playfulness in everyone.

JULY 15-19: THE WUTCRAKER BOOT-CAMP. In preparation for The Wutcraker in December, campers get a jump on auditions for this community-wide intergenerational parody (winner of the Mayor's Arts Award). Campers will learn how to swordfight like the Rat King, rap like the Ice Gang, and dance like a Booger Flung Scary!

JULY 22-26: "SPRINKLE PARK—THE MUSICAL." Campers meet at Fairhaven Park this week with swimming suits, picnics, and imagination. We'll play tons of fun theatre games and create an original musical or a lip-sync performance to share on Friday with families in the park. Wet. Wacky. Fun!

JULY 29-August 2: THE WOZARD OF IZ. Of course you've heard of Toto... but have you heard of Dorothy's dog "Thumb Thumb?" And what about Auntie "Um," and "Professor Lost His Marbles?" And Elvis! What is Elvis doing in Oz?? A hilarious rendition on that old classic, kids' imaginations have warped this adventure into a new dimension. Parts for Middle School kids and younger.

HOW TO REGISTER: It's an old-fashioned approach, but it's indicative of the hands-on care BCT's summer camp offers your camper—simply do this:
1) click “Contact Us” and send us an email with your name and the name of your camper(s), how old they are, and what camp(s) they’re interested in attending.
2) We will send you a registration and medical release form to fill out. Please fill it out and mail it along with a check for tuition (made out to B.C.T.) to our MAILING ADDRESS: 809 Donovan Ave. Bellingham, WA 98225
3) We will send you a confirmation email
4) In early June, we will send out another email with camp details and potential car-pooling possibilities to all the families who have signed up for summer camp.

It's easy!

Viewpoints Theatre Ensemble

Viewpoints Theatre Ensemble

Viewpoints is difficult to explain or summarize through any definitive concrete description. Some say it’s an embodied awareness of ourselves in time and space; a common language through which actors, dancers, designers, artists, and collaborators can create work for the stage; a practice in simply “being” which enlivens the world and makes one notice beauty at every turn. However one talks about it ~ Viewpoints is… to be experienced.

Viewpoints Theatre Ensemble offers Tuesday evening drop-in training sessions for actors, artists, musicians, writers, dancers, directors, and people who are simply curious about the basics of this phenomenal artistic training which shifts our perspectives about time and space.
On-going Viewpoints Training (beginners welcome): Wednesday Evenings 6:30 – 8:30 pm. We start up again the month of May, 2013. Drop in course fee: $12 general, $8 students / Buy a 5-class punch card: $50 general, $30 students.

Anyone who is interested in exploring this delicious physical language is welcome to attend. No prior experience necessary.
Please wear loose clothing, no jewelry, and bring water. We train barefoot
