More camps are being planned
(BATESVILLE, Ind.) – Area students were introduced to the world of special effects makeup at the inaugural “Backstage Pass” Theater Camp last week.
The two-day event was organized by the Batesville Area Arts Council and the Kids Discovery Factory.
Kids ages 5-14 were given the opportunity to explore FX makeup techniques, airbrushing, and other theatrical makeup applications.
Organizers say the event provides kids with an up close look of the science, technology, art, engineering and math (STEAM) that goes into theater productions.
"Special Effects Makeup Camp was a thrilling way to kick off the Backstage Pass series," said Vanessa Beetz, Program Director. "Students were able to experiment with professional techniques and materials. Local artist Lori Voegele did a wonderful job sharing her craft.”
The Backstage Pass series will continue with a variety of themed camps throughout the year, including:
Sound Effects Camp, Wild About Writing Camp, Set Design Camp, Puppet Play Camp, and a
Graphic Design Breakout (during the Kids Discovery Factory’s Annual STEAM Camp in July 2025).
Each camp is designed to introduce children to the fascinating STEAM elements behind theater production, providing an opportunity to discover new passions while working alongside professionals in the field.
Registration for upcoming camps in the Backstage Pass series will open soon, and interested families are encouraged to find more information by clicking here.
