Summer Camp Program – Junior Acting Classes in Los Angeles
The Program: Comedy Camp is a fun, week-long program where kids get the chance to explore all the elements that go into creating great comedy! Starting with an introduction to the most influential and great comedy icons like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, and then exploring comedy by playing tons of improv games and theater based exercises that are designed to help them develop and practice their comedic skills. We explore character walks and voices, funny physicality, spit takes, double takes, slow burn takes, prat falls, extreme reactions, deadpan, exaggerated emotions, running gags, absurdity, and parody. Kids also draw signature comic characters and invent worlds around them. We also create and share sketches every day. During the week, we will also make and film commercial parodies, song parodies, and a short silent film together.
This camp program is designed for any teen that has an interest in costume design. No previous experience is needed.
Over the course of the summer, students will have a fully immersive experience learning how to design and create costumes for a summer musical. As a group, led by professional designer Sophia April Grose, students will come up with a design for the show, work on building the costumes and running the performances backstage. The costume program will run concurrently with Village Arts Musical Theatre Camp.
