Theatrikos Theatre Company

Stage Makeup Camp

Does your child love transforming into new characters? In this hands-on, creativity-filled stage makeup camp, students will explore the art and technique behind theatrical transformation, learning how makeup helps tell powerful stories on stage.

Throughout the week, campers will:

- Understand the fundamentals of stage makeup application and proper tool use

- Practice specialty techniques including old age, faux damage, fuzzy animals, feathered animals, and scaled creatures

- Learn the importance of skin care after makeup to keep their skin healthy

Build confidence as they design, test, and present their own creative looks

Campers will begin by designing makeup concepts on paper, learning how to plan and map out a character’s transformation. From there, they will progress to applying their designs to their own faces. Through visual research, using reference images of real animals and textures, they will learn how to translate inspiration into theatrical artistry. Bringing a cell phone or sturdy laptop is encouraged to access reference images for research and design work.

On Friday, each camper will unveil a final makeup creation and present their work to family and friends, showcasing their new technical skills, creativity, and stage-ready confidence.
