Each camp will be taught by Sea Star Production's Charlotte Denton and two experienced teaching assistants. To learn more about Charlotte check out her bio below.

Charlotte Denton is an award-winning singer and actor and the owner of Industry Ready and Sea Star Productions, professional training companies. Charlotte grew-up on the Saanich Peninsula and was involved in the local performing arts community from the age of 3 until she graduated from high school. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting, Charlotte went on to work professionally as an actor, singer, producer, casting director and model in Canada, England and Australia.

Charlotte is the recipient of the gold medal in the solo Musical Theatre category in British Columbia’s Performing Arts Festival 5 years in a row. Her resume includes notable roles such as playing a god in Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder, performing and producing in a variety of sold out shows in Canada and England, as well as teaching at such prestigious schools as The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), which is Australia’s top educator for careers in stage and screen (NIDA has produced some of the world’s most influential and in-demand storytellers of today).

Charlotte’s passion for teaching is infectious and her students’ feedback is evident of her authentic desire to inspire and empower them to not only do their best, but to have fun doing it.

Her husband and their daughter have recently moved back to Sidney from Sydney, Australia and they are so excited to be part of this community once more. Charlotte knows first-hand how important it is to have the right teachers and she has had the privilege of working under some amazing mentors over the years, and she wants to pay it forward.

“My dream is to bring all I have learned abroad to Vancouver Island and my goal is to create an environment where students feel safe, inspired and confident to learn the value of the performing arts,” says, Charlotte Denton.
