NEW
Anime is here to stay! Some think it’s just a fad, but it has been around since the early 20th century. It has evolved along with the more realistic Manga style, into a craze that has teens flocking to bookstores to buy graphic novels. Some artists are even adapting classic tales like Romeo & Juliet to the style, so get out your pens! In this camp, the instructor leads teens through drawing exercises and examples, and the teens meet other artists who are on the same page. For those considering writing, the instructor will provide tools to help get started. This half day camp is for students ages 12 - 16. Instructor: Deborah Littleton Location: Visual Arts 2

DRAMA Private Auditioning Technique For more drama classes see the Summer Camps Section on page 6.
Students will be taught one-on-one to analyze and perform a successful monologue and commercial audition, along with how to break into the business. If the student chooses to return for subsequent sessions, the instructor will lead them through various exercises to develop listening and responding, rather than simply quoting lines without emotion. Eventually students develop a scene with the instructor using the Meisner method. Class meets once a week for 4 weeks. Instructor: Deborah Littleton Location: Musco Music Room Note: Students should bring a binder, pencil, and water to class, and are encouraged to bring monologues or musical theatre selections to receive instructor’s feedback.
