Slow Theatre invites you to our summer improv camps for kids and teens!
This is a two-week summer theatre camp to learn skills in theatre, create social connections, and have fun with our team! As a leader in arts and culture in the North State, we are excited to bring our skills and expertise to the stage with young people seeking a creative outlet. Alongside our expert instructor, attendees will learn all about theatre and storytelling, fundamentals in emotional and physical range, and develop stage technique through a series of improv exercises and theatre games. The camp will culminate with a free performance for an audience of family and friends. This camp is a two-week intensive where actors of all skill levels will learn: -Improvisation, storytelling, and theatre games that help build confidence and increase self-awareness, relaxation, responsibility, creativity and imagination. -Focus on storytelling on a variety of levels such as physical, emotional, imaginative and social. These classes will encourage artistic insight and enhance acting skills. -What it means to play and have fun and use their imaginations in a creative aspect. Whether your youth is interested in acting or simply wants to try something new, whether they are extroverts who love a spotlight or wallflowers looking to break out and shine, Slow Theatre's Summer Theatre Camp will offer an exciting and educational experience for all. We are limiting space to the first 10 to sign up, so be quick! Only $200 for the two-week session! About Your Instructor Justin Bryant is a writer, comedian, and educator.
