STAR/Teatro-trained leaders skilled in the workshop process led Teatro Camp participants through the exercises. They explored physical movement and encouraged imagination and creativity. The children wrote and performed actos (short learning plays) with a Teatro-inspired theme as the culminating performance on the final weekend, August 7th and 8th, in the El Teatro Campesino Playhouse. SPHERE was a live performance linking dance, myth, music and story, consisting of an ACTO: "Quinta Temporada" (The Fifth Season), a MITO: "How the Mockingbird became the best singer", a CORRIDOS: "Circo" (The Circus), and "The Tale of Mulan". STAR Teatro Camp participants also enjoyed a field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to watch the environmental actos "Basta Basura" and "Watt a Waste" written and directed by Kinan Valdez, ETC Associate Artistic Director. STAR Teatro Camp was a collaboration between the Gavilan College STAR Program and El Teatro Campesino. The session was funded in part by a grant from the Community Foundation of San Benito County and the San Benito Arts Council.
