Subject: Youth Variety Arts Camp at Invisible Theatre this summer!

 

Invisible Theatre revives the spirit of vaudeville in its new summer program, Youth Variety Arts Camp.  The summer program will offer a morning and afternoon session July 8 - July 19, 2013 for children ages 7 to 14 years old.  Located at 1400 N. First Ave, Tucson, AZ (at the corner of First and Drachman), the camp activities will draw upon the American folk traditions of circus, sideshow, magic, vaudeville, Wild West shows, and street theatre.  At Youth Variety Arts Camp, participants will develop basic skills in juggling, mime, puppetry and storytelling and will learn presentation techniques such as character, make-up and costuming.  Each session will focus on themes from children's literature as a springboard for inspiration.  Participants will concentrate on individual and group acts culminating in a final vaudeville-style performance at the end of the session. From New York's Palace Theater to Midwestern small-town stages, vaudeville was, at one point, a ubiquitous part of every American community.  TV programs such as The Late Show with David Letterman and Saturday Night Live continue the traditions of variety entertainment that vaudeville popularized.  For children, variety arts are beneficial by providing exercise in a noncompetitive atmosphere, encouraging inclusion and self expression by offering an array of skills, and boosting brain power through complex motor coordination.
