Shomer Mitzvot Arts Camps
Camp Tizmoret Shoshana
Berkshires – Overnight, 2 week – ages 11-18
Tizmoret Shoshana is a two-week intensive summer program for the fine and performing arts, named in memory of Rebbetzin Shoshana Poupko Feldman z”l, a true Renaissance woman who was both a Torah scholar and accomplished pianist. Under the guidance of a dynamic professional faculty, Tizmoret Shoshana provides training in the following art forms: Chamber Music: Baroque, Classical, Romantic; Vocal Music: Solo and Ensemble; Drama and Puppetry; Improvisation, mask-making, acting; Dance: Ballet, Modern, and Israeli Dance, Visual Art and Creative Writing. Tizmoret Shoshana accommodates both girls with little or no art experience and those who are at highly advanced levels in their art form. The intent of Tizmoret Shoshana is to provide a setting in which the Torah-observant girl can explore and develop her unique talents. The natural setting of beautiful mountains next to a serene lake serves as an inspiring backdrop for the integration of spiritual expression and artistic development.
