Second City Improv/Sketch Camp (ages 11-18)
DATE: July 15-26 (10am-3:30pm)
LOCATION: Walton Arts Center
REGISTRATION: $850 per attendee
ABOUT:
Campers exercise their sense of play through improv games and exercises that are the foundation of The Second City’s unique brand of comedy. Our teachers will work with these young improvisers to help enhance their ability to communicate with others and develop confidence in their own creativity while working as part of an ensemble. At the end of the two weeks, campers present a show for their family and friends to showcase their new skills.
Improv (10am-12:15pm) – Explore the fundamentals of improv as taught and performed at The Second City. Develop skills like creative thinking, self-confidence, listening, brainstorming, team building, empathy, and communication, while having loads of fun and laughs.
Sketch Comedy (12:45pm-3:30pm) – Learn the basics of sketch comedy scenes, the building blocks of any Second City show. Study classic Second City scenes, use improv to develop scenes, and create original sketches.
Come develop your personal style as a stand-up comedian or storyteller as we focus on developing material, stage presence, and delivery. Our oldest campers may present their material in an optional open mic on the final Friday of two-week camps.
