The Joy of Acting 101– Our online six- week virtual experience for ages 8-12 teaches students the Fundamental skills of Acting. Students learn voice projections, improv and emotions through theater games and role play.  At the end of the program, we notice improvement in students confidence, how they adapt to changing situations, friendships are formed, and they are left with new skills and tools.

The Joy Experience

Learning to have joy in simple everyday tasks, our team has created an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes the purpose of joy and its attributes. Due to the competitive nature of the entertainment industry, most youth-aged individuals lack the self- confidence and ambition needed to succeed. In conjunction, we must empower the future
generation to be confident in who they are at the core, through the vice of experiencing joy. Our program will include children enhancing creativity through the following:

• Fashion and beauty (modelling)-will focus on building confidence and empowering students
• Sports (football, basketball, soccer)-increases endorphins and will practice a healthy lifestyle
• Creative Arts such as (drawing/coloring/painting/acting),music, dance (movement)

Which aims to get kids from relying on technology and to release endorphins.

Joy Camp

This event was created to support the world of pretend. This camp embraces the importance of identity and how exhibiting true eminent joy can change how you feel about yourself. In this event, each child will become a superhero. Superheroes express themselves through
affirmations, in which each child will have the opportunity to choose the character and which characteristics they would like to exude through the superhero. Along with professional joy holders, the team will be available to dress as superheroes. They teach many principles of harboring joy and happiness and the importance of carrying such virtues throughout their lives.
As an ending to the camping experience, the students will have the opportunity to attend our Joy Camp Movie Premiere Night, where they get to dress up and go to a movie premiere or private screening with our JIE Team.
