You can’t do impossible things without being a little silly!

Get ready for a week of big voices, bold bodies, and totally over-the-top fun! Wandering Aesthetics presents Summer Camp: Cartoon Chaos, a high-energy summer theatre camp where imagination runs wild and creativity takes center stage.

Perfect for young creative kids who are brand new to theatre and for those who want to dive a little deeper into the world of performance, Cartoon Chaos invites students to explore cartoons and cartoon characters through the lens of theatre. Together, we’ll discover how to become cartoonish on stage—playing with exaggerated movement, expressive voices, physical comedy, and larger-than-life characters.

Led by Wandering Aesthetics’ Director of Education Kyle Jozsa and Teaching Artist Matt Dodds, this camp places a strong emphasis on ensemble-building and creative play. Through theatre games, improvisation, and collaborative storytelling, students will connect with like-minded peers while learning the fundamentals of live performance in a fun, supportive, and low-pressure environment.

Each day includes engaging activities that introduce key theatre skills—such as stage picture, movement, timing, and character creation—while encouraging students to take creative risks, trust their instincts, and support one another as an ensemble. By the end of the week, students will help create a playful, cartoon-inspired performance to share with family and friends.

The camp will conclude with a final presentation on Friday afternoon, celebrating the students’ creativity, teamwork, and joy on stage.

Additional Information

• Students should bring a water bottle and brown bag lunch each day.

Whether your child is stepping onto the stage for the first time or already loves to perform, Summer Camp: Cartoon Chaos is a joyful, imaginative introduction to theatre where being silly is not just allowed—it’s encouraged!
