Discover a beloved tale where animals and music come to life! Learn how dance and music concepts help us tell stories. Bring your imagination for a week of improvisation, composition, and dance-making inspired by the sounds and story of Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev. Musicians use movement, body percussion, voices, and instruments to create their own musical story, shared in an informal performance on the last day of camp. No previous musical training required.
