What is CHFA? 

CHFA is the first-of-its-kind Fine Arts Camp specifically focusing on Theatre, Acting for Camera, Filmmaking, and Editing together. Students have a space where they can focus on the stage, in a scene or behind the camera.  Teens and young adults will embark on this 7-day intensive to enhance their skills and craft, all for the glory of God!

 

Filmmaking and Editing Major

Students who choose to focus on the filmmaking side will actively participate through hands-on filming. They will work behind the camera, roll sound, and be a part of the shoot crew to create short film sequences. The program is designed to be highly interactive, with participants spending significant time filming and working on various aspects of film production. They will learn the skills of cinematography, sound recording, editing, and art direction.

 

Acting for Camera Major

Students embark on a dynamic journey that fuses the artistry of stage performance with the technical precision required for on-camera acting. This track is designed for those who seek to master the craft of acting both in front of an audience and behind the lens. Emphasizing a deep understanding of the theory and practice of performance, students explore dramatic scenes from both perspectives: the intimacy and nuance of film acting, and the presence and projection required on stage.

 

Musical Theatre Major

Theatre students will focus on live theatrical performances and acting on the screen. They will have the opportunity to work on scenes, monologues, and musical theatre numbers. Upon completing registration, there will be an optional audition for principal roles in the production. Students will spend time with industry professionals through masterclasses, inspirational speeches, and instruction. As a theatre major, you'll have the chance to specialize in areas that interest you, such as auditioning, acting for the camera, choreography, and more!

 

CHFA Performance and Film Fest 

Filmmakers will capture the performance of Acting majors throughout the week on camera. The Theatre majors will perform live theatrical numbers from Broadway Songs and scenes. We are truly creating a space for both staged and filmed art! Experience the final products of 200 campers creating art on the stage and behind the camera.  Friends and family are welcome to join us for the Red Carpet Event. ​
