This week-long intensive will introduce students to the fundamentals of performance through vocal and physical exercises.

Step Right Up! An Introduction to Circus Skills
August 10 – 14 | 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Ages 8 & up
This intensive has a little bit of everything, for every-body. Are you an athlete? Come try the balance board or stilts! Problem-solving and puzzles more your thing? Juggling and plate spinning will blow your mind! Maybe you’re a daredevil? Test your courage on the tight wire or walking globe! Class clown? Learn improv and slapstick. A little bit of each and more? You’ll find it here! Build confidence and make friends in this physical theatre camp based on international circus skills and one rule: if you believe you can do it, you will. At the end of the session participants will host a skill-share workshop for friends and family, which may also include a performance. No experience necessary.
