Our second high school master class brought students together with choreographer Zoe Scofield, and visual artist Juniper Shuey. Each student made "films" based on still photos of their own choreography. Check out this film of high-school student Jeffrey Shirbroun.
Zoe and Juniper will be part of the faculty for our weeklong, Summer Arts Intensives at the end of June.

A quick note from Young Artist Project core faculty members Zoe Scofield and Juniper Shuey...
(p.s. if you are a high school dance or video artist, you can work with them at our summer high school intensives...)

High School Summer Arts Intensives:
Jeanine Gailey, Amber Wolfe, Amy Johnson, Juniper Shuey, Zoe Scofield
Spend
a week pushing the boundaries of what you know in your chosen
discipline, with the guidance and inspiration of our core faculty and a
learning environment enriched by a community of peers.
In this June workshop, you’ll be able to pursue your passions in creative writing, dance/video, visual art, and drama in a week-long workshop immediately following the end of the school year. Sessions are designed for high-school artists at any level of expertise.
Jeannine Gailey will teach “Comic Book Heroes, Mythology, and You,” a week-long adventure in creative writing, in which you’ll be able to explore the mythological tie-ins between ancient heroes (from Greek and Roman to Norse and Japanese) and modern fictitious superheroes and how they relate to our culture and ourselves. You will look at mythology and popular culture in class and use them to help launch several creative writing exercises during the week, including writing poems in the voices of superheroes and villains, making up our own myths, and writing a character sketch for an original superhero(ine).
Amber Wolfe will lead "Exploring Shakespeare."
She will show you how to tackle Shakespearean language and bring the
texts to life while creating a performance that incorporates
Shakespeare’s text with movement and stage combat. Wolfe’s expertise
with stage combat includes both hand to hand and the use of swords.
Deepen your stage skills in this unique, focused theater workshop!
Zoe Scofield and Juniper Shuey will be working with dancers to create a short video of their own choreography. You will work with Zoe to create your own unique movement and to think about how your various movements and shapes will look in the confines of a picture frame. Once this is accomplished, students work in pairs to film their work. You will use digital still images or a video camera to capture each other's compositions. Juniper is the video/photo expert. He will help you to take your still photos and video shorts and put them into iMovie, paired it with a musical selection and project the finished piece on a big screen.
Amy Johnson explores “The Art of Installation.” You will be creating images and objects to transform the studio space and completely alter your working environment. “Our process will include both two dimensional and three dimensional demonstrations: collage and printmaking on paper to support two dimensional work and for three dimensional work we will be making rubber molds to cast found objects out of plaster, paper and rubber. You will learn different ways to install, or display the work in a collaborative way,” says Johnson. Be prepared to take risks, get to know everyone in the group and learn different techniques in an experimental and playful way. You will be challenged to think in ways that will stretch your idea of what art is, who needs to see it and where art can exist."
Tuition, room and board is $365. Scholarships are available.
Scholarship deadline is May 27, 2008.
Application deadline/payment due May 27, 2008.
