3 FUN-damental Rules
Not only will your teen learn the skills of improvisation, they will also focus on:
Listening – It’s a world-wide epidemic that kids don’t listen. And there’s not a lot of summer camps that focus on the SKILL of listening. Improv is about creating together and REQUIRES that we listen to each other. It’s the #1 rule in improv!
Yes, And – On stage, we teach them to say “yes” to the reality which is being created, to stay positive and support the ideas that are being given by their partner. In real life “yes, and” teaches kids to listen, contribute to the conversation and to be way more positive, even about the most difficult tasks.
(Kids saying “Yes, And” to cleaning their rooms is all we could ever want)
Teamwork – We reinforce the individual contributing to the success of the whole. Each student and their imagination work with 1-10 other people to create amazing scenes on the spot.
Characters & Comedy Techniques
Playing characters and making bold choices can be really fun! It also teaches us empathy. To play someone else besides ourselves teaches us to think in a different perspective, teaches us to have perception.
Whether your teen is already funny, or if that skill needs to be developed, JesterZ Teen improv teaches fun & easy comedic techniques that ANYONE can do to elicit a laugh.
Improv Games
Structures, rules, and guidelines allow for creative freedom to flourish. Fun theater games that set up the team & individual for success. Many of the same games you see the professional comedians perform!
This is where the FUNNY happens!
