Improv with Arcade Theater's teaching artists in this summer session for students in grades 3 through 6. Campers will spend this half-day morning camp embarking on a journey of spontaneity, creativity, and laughter as we dive into the exciting world of improvisation. This session explores the art of improv comedy with exercises and games helping students create spontaneous stage performances. Students will learn the basic skills of improv including agreement and acceptance, building a story collaboratively, creating imagined environments through "object work", and generating bold and interesting characters. A crucial skill for any well-rounded performer, improv also allows students practice listening skills, creativity, teamwork, and confidence.
Note: This class takes place both at The Public and Arcade Comedy Theater at 943 Liberty Avenue. For more information about Arcade Comedy Theater, visit arcadecomedytheater.com.
