Yes…And! In this dynamic improv camp, young actors learn the tools to think on their feet, listen, and be creative in the moment. We start the camp with warm-ups and games. Then we learn techniques of stand-up and sketch comedy to help us make up our own show! Kids get practice being spontaneous, collaborative, and hilarious while creating something they can be proud of.
Improvisation is not only a great part of the actor’s toolbox, it is a powerful social skill that gets kids trusting their instincts, shifting perspective, and most importantly having fun!
This camp is led by two Child’s Play NY teachers with an extensive improvisation performance background.
Kids get in touch with their inner “wild thing” and let free their dramatic imaginations using the animal kingdom as inspiration. Our adventures are based on classic stories like the Anansi legends and Aesop’s fables as well as contemporary tales like Circus Ship and Skippy Jon Jones. Storytelling through creative movement plays a key part in our adventuring. Classical music helps us explore character and make exciting discoveries about ourselves and our animal friends.
