Birdie Summer Intensive is a comprehensive theatre practice program for young people aged 15+. It offers four specialized tracks: Playwriting & Directing, Acting, Design, and Stage & Production Management. These tracks allow participants to explore their interested roles through hands-on experience in professional theatre productions.

As the only educational program of its kind in China, we provide an immersive four-week experience where students train, create, and collaborate under the guidance of industrial professionals coming from international as well as local backgrounds. The program includes specialized courses, one-on-one mentorship and project-based learning, helping students develop strong portfolios for further vocational development.

By the end of the camp, students will complete 1+N original productions, including a collective devised piece and multiple individual projects, culminating in a public performance showcase at a professional theatre (go to Productions for more). In the past 3 years, we have continued to partner with Shanghai YOUNG Theater, in offering production opportunities, technical training and internship recommendations, making it an ideal gateway to theatre studies and careers.
