This affinity camp for learners with sensory access needs is an exploration of acting basics with a twist! Campers will use voice techniques, movement exercises, and character development to tell stories on stage, while allowing for a more relaxed, process-based approach. With more frequent break times, access to sensory aids, and less structure, this workshop will offer meaningful theatre moments while meeting learners where they are. Classes are taught by IRT staff and artists.

Ages 8-15:

June 3-7, Monday – Friday, 9 AM-4:30 PM
