This summer, I attended two different camps in England. I went there to improve my English and hone my acting skills. Since I really love acting, I asked to attend camps with a theater focus.
The first camp was in Malvern. It's a huge school campus with a variety of programs: English, theater, sports, outdoor activities, science, and creative classes. The first week, I attended theater classes and outdoor activities, and the second week, I replaced the outdoor activities with sports. I really enjoyed the hikes and short trips as part of the outdoor activities block. The theater was interesting, but it featured more dance routines than traditional acting classes. Nevertheless, it was fun and educational—theatre isn't just about acting, it's also about dancing. I really enjoyed everything about Malvern: the organized activities, the accommodation, and the food—everything was excellent.
After Malvern, I went to Hurtwood. Hurtwood is a professional acting school where we spent almost the entire day in the theater: acting training, staging the play. It was wonderful because they took the process very seriously, and people passionate about theater were willing to give it their all. We staged the play, and it turned out quite well, even though it took us less than a week.
The second week at Hurtwood was dedicated to musical theater. I'm not much of a singer, but it was quite interesting: we went to a lot of musicals and even went to the theater in London. However, the musical theater program is more suited to those who love singing and dancing, while the first week—the regular acting program—is more for those who enjoy performing.
Overall, I really enjoyed both programs—each had its advantages. But given that I really wanted to pursue acting, I liked Hurtwood better. Everything was great at both camps: accommodation, food, teachers, and assistants—everyone was so nice and kind.
No one in my family knew how to find these camps or arrange travel to England, so Olga from Paradise helped us with everything. She organized everything: found the camps, helped with payment, and resolved any issues that arose that I couldn't have resolved on my own. I want to thank her so much for her help.
