BRITE is excited to bring a series of improv theater workshops to middle and high school students in Santa Paula! Over the course of five days, students will come together to learn the foundations of using improvisation to make social change through creativity, teamwork, and leadership. 

 

At the end of the workshop series, participants will showcase what they’ve learned in a fun and interactive applied improv performance open to friends, family, and the community.

​

Students will build:

• Improv Theater Techniques

• Social Change Performance

• Confidence, Leadership, and Teamwork

 

Workshops are free to participate in, and transportation options may be available.

Why Improv? 

Improv and social change theater provide youth with a creative outlet to express their ideas, experiences, and perspectives. While learning foundational improvisation and performance skills, young people build confidence, communication, teamwork, leadership, and public speaking skills while exploring important social issues and creating positive change in their communities.
