Athena Project’s Summer Camps Help Girls Create
Week-long camps feature playwriting, improv & comedy, songwriting and fashion

Denver, CO January 9, 2020—Girls Create is a summer camp program for playwriting, improv & comedy, songwriting, and fashion.  The program teaches girls (6th through 10th grade) various aspects of these art forms in a unique way--we prioritize bringing in professionals from the community to teach the programs, guest artists to share their expertise and utilize mentors from the community to provide guidance during the creative process. Each week-long program culminates in a final project for the week. We invite the community, including friends and family of the girls, to experience their work. All Girls Create camps are $250 and take place at the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver, 2344 E Iliff Ave, Denver, CO 80201.

Girls Create’s mission is to empower girls to lead and affect change in themselves and others through creative learning.

 

 

Our Girls Write is a theatre and writing immersion camp that empowers girls’ imaginations through their creation of individual short plays. Guest actors and directors bring each story to life in a staged reading at the end of the week. As they develop creative tools for storytelling, girls gain confidence in their unique voices and experience the value of sharing ideas.

Dates:  July 20 through July 24 and July 27 through July 31

 

 

 

Co-Presented with the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver

Opened in 2002, the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver is a multi-disciplinary arts venue that provides innovative, diverse, and thought-provoking performance and education opportunities, enabling the Denver and Colorado community to be engaged, inspired, and connected through the performing arts. The Newman Center is home to the Lamont School of Music, DU Theatre Department, the Newman Center Presents series, over 150 hosted events, and approximately 500 performances each year.

At Girls Create, we believe that “Girl” means many things and can be a complicated term. We recognize that the term “Girl” does not automatically include all aspects of the gender spectrum that is welcome at camp. We want to create a safer space for the expression and growth for all girls, trans and gender-nonconforming individuals. We ask for pronouns because we don't want to assume anyone's gender identity! If you are comfortable sharing please do, if not that’s ok too. Knowing your preferred Pronouns helps us to address you in the way most comfortable for you.
