Say YES to Improv and Comedic Acting Camp! A week long course in Improvisation and Comedic Acting in the beautiful atmosphere of Shell Lake. Students will be provided with a safe space to develop a new performance skill and actively create each day. Myth buster: improvisation is not about being funny. In fact, that is the most common misunderstanding about the discipline. The most important concept and a major focus of Improv and Comedic Acting Camp is the principle of agreement, or, saying “Yes”. Students will learn to be team players and to train their brains to focus only on the moment being played. They will learn how to cite world events and local politics in the same breath, and they will learn how to forge a community out of mutual labor and respect. Comedy, or being funny, is a by-product.
