Improv Up!
(Beginner Improv Weeklong Camp)
Ever wondered what would happen if a seal and an otter went to a party together and the world ended? Well, so do we! During Improv Up! campers will be able to explore the wonders of their imagination, and gain the skills to ‘Yes, and?’ with the best of them. Improv is the art of making things up on the spot, from characters, to situations, to entire scenes, and this camp will help develop those skills. While creating things from a blank slate might sound intimidating, improv can serve as an important foundation for performers of all ages and help develop social skills in many situations!
