SCREENPLAY (9-14 yr olds) Weekly holiday camps in film and acting: Children get their own taste of Hollywood in Discovery Bay. JETS and Focus on Film are combining creative forces to bring ‘SCREENPLAY’ to Discovery Bay offering full day camps during school holidays. Screenplay gives kids the chance to step into the world of movies with the opportunity to try out film, acting and cinematic techniques culminating in a movie screening at the Screenplay Academy Awards Ceremony.
Everyone on the course will spend time as a director, actor, performer, lighting and sound technician and camera operator using the latest, high end equipment under expert guidance from experienced, highly qualified theatrical and film school professionals.
So take your first step onto that red carpet and get the taste of the bright lights of Hollywood right on your doorstep. Sign up now for our December course, Dec 27-31st (10 a.m.-3p.m. daily). For more information visit http://www.focusonfilmhk.com
Drums Alive – Kids Beats: Drums Alive – Kids Beats, a unique combination of dynamic moving and drumming Drums Alive is a dynamic program that captivates and integrates pedagogic principles, principles from fitness and wellness, as well as principles from movement, music and sound therapies. Drumming is fun for children. Endorphins are released and negative moods are driven away. When kids are drumming they are fully concentrated.
All their attention is focused on the drumming and the rhythm. Negative or irritating emotions are reduced.
Drumming increases alpha-brainwave amplitude, which is associated with a sense of well-being and euphoria. When kids beat, the vibration from the drums and their energy creates an experience of a sense of vitality, togetherness and complete harmony. We will have a demonstration on the DBIS FOOD FAIR.
