Pow! Bam! Splat! The Department of Theatre and Dance invites young people to join us for Exploring the Arts: Superhero Edition. This week-long day camp at The University of Texas at Austin is for students who are entering the 2nd through 5th grade (ages 7-11) at any school or homeschool setting in Fall 2026. Each day, our group will use music, dance, theatre and visual art to carry out missions, solve mysteries and save the day from evil villains. By engaging in the creative arts, our young superheroes will be challenged to further develop their creative powers, discover individuality and understand community.  On the final day of our journey (June 26), friends and family will be invited to an hour-long showcase where our superheroes will present the art they have created through an informal exhibition.  

No audition or portfolio is required, and young superheroes of all artistic backgrounds are encouraged to join. All skill levels will be supported through a variety of hands-on, interactive learning experiences and everyone should come prepared to move, explore and collaborate each day.
