Summer 2019
Classes meet Monday – Friday for one week
June 17, 2019 – June 21, 2019
Classes listed in alphabetical order by class title
Acting (Ages 11-15)
This week-long class, appropriate for all experience levels, will show students how to
use their bodies, breath, and voice to better perform on stage or speak in front of a
group. Students will discover how they have developed “social armor,” or ways to hide
themselves, and – using acting techniques – they will strip off the tensions they hold in
their bodies and allow themselves to be seen. Using stories from their own lives, the
week will culminate in a performance where students will show and relive a moment of
their lives that brought them fear, joy, and love.
Time: 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Cost: $225
Animation (Ages 12-16)
Students will learn to animate digitally while engaging in the concepts and principles of
animation. Emphasis will be placed on squash-and-stretch, anticipation, exaggeration,
and timing. Technical focus will include pose-to-pose, keyframing, tweening, and
animation cycles, as well as expression of emotion and gesture through movement with
a variety of techniques and approaches. Students will create several short animated
films.
