Setting

Idyllwild Arts is located on the western slopes of the San Jacinto Mtns. in Southern California. Nestled at the 5000’ level, the 205-acre campus is a naturally beautiful setting with clean air, alpine forests, mountain meadows, and singing Strawberry Creek. Idyllwild is a 21/2 hour drive from Los Angeles or San Diego. Although there is no public transportation to Idyllwild, it is easily accessible by means of California’s excellent freeway and state highway systems. Transportation service to and from Idyllwild can be provided by Idyllwild Arts from the Palm Springs or Ontario airports. Our campus has many fine facilities for the pleasure of our guests. Indoor and outdoor theaters, well-equipped art studios, dance studios and two dozen practice rooms, all equipped with fine pianos, are available for instruction and individual work. A variety of comfortable, newly-refurbished lodgings and a homey dining hall help to put guests at ease from the moment they arrive on the campus.

Who can attend ?

The whole family is welcome at Family Camp. Parents, children, grandparents, uncles, cousins and aunts will all enjoy a great week. Single parent families and couples without children are also welcome. Children under three are welcome, of course, but they remain your responsibility.

Family Camp Hike Children’s Music

Lodging

Accommodations are in Pierson and MacNeal Hall, the school’s newest and most comfortable lodging facilities. Rooms are bright and airy, and have private bathrooms with showers. Choose the economical One-Room option and save money, or spread out into the Two-Room option for more space and privacy. Daily maid service means you don’t have to worry about making beds or other mundane household chores.

Meals

Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style and include unlimited helpings of wholesome goodies: fruit, yogurt, cereal, pancakes, eggs, waffles, and juices for breakfast; soups, salad bar, sandwiches and hot entrees for lunch.

Outdoors and Wilderness

Three & Four Year Olds: Morning Program Diaper-free three and four year olds meet each morning from 9 a.m. to Noon. Activities include crafts, games and short walks around the campus. Water-safe children may also participate in afternoon swimming activities, supervised by our counselors and lifeguards.

Each day will offer a choice of hikes, ranging from easy walks to all-day excursions, in the San Jacinto Wilderness. Along the way, you’ll learn about the indigenous flora and fauna of the area. Bring your day pack or fanny pack and we’ll load you up with enough nutritious yummies to keep your fires stoked throughout the hike.

Five to Eight Year Olds: Multi-Arts From 9 a.m. to Noon each day, five to eight year olds will have three short (45 minute) classes in visual art, dance/movement and creative drama, all taught by experienced professional educators. Afternoons consist of recreational activities and games led by our children’s counselors.

Bookstore & Exhibit Center

Nine to Fourteen Year Olds: Focused Arts Children 9–14 have the option to be involved in a full or half day of focused arts activities. During the 9 a.m.–Noon slot, children 9–14 choose one of three options as their visual arts focus for the week. In past summers these options have included painting & drawing, photography, bear-making, ceramic sculpture and handmade books. During the afternoons, children can choose a performing arts option such as Musical Theatre or West African Music and Dance, or can participate in the counselor-led recreation program. All Focused Arts activities are taught by experienced artist-teachers. (Children 15 years and older may participate in Family Camp activities as teenagers or as adults.)

Native American crafts and jewelry, posters, books, camp clothing and sundries are for sale in the Todd Center/Bookstore and the Parks Exhibition Center. Remember your week at Family Camp by keeping warm in your Idyllwild Arts sweats during the chilly winter months.

In the late afternoons, beer, wine, soft drinks and munchies are provided to help you recover from the rigors of your daytime activities. Dinners are special meals at Family Camp. From informal barbecues to buffets, each evening will be an adventure in dining.

Adult Activities

Adults can plan to be as busy as they wish to be. An extensive offering of classes is available to interested participants, along with the possibility of enrolling in selected Summer Program Adult and Native American Arts courses at no or minimal extra cost. Although course offerings and availabilities vary from year to year, Family Camp participants will have a broad selection of arts activities from which to choose. In 2012, the following arts classes were available to Family Camp adults: Appreciating Shakespeare, Batik & Tie Dye, Cast, Carve & Create, Ceramics, Digital Photography, Directing Seminar, Folk Instruments, Gourd Basketry, Hopi Basketry, Hula and Polynesian Dance, Jewelry Making, Mosaics, Plein Air and Portraiture, Share Family Camp: Facebook, Silk Painting, Singing, Writing the Memoir, Woodcut Printmaking, and Yoga.

In addition to our excellent year-round staff, 50 summer staffers, college students and recent graduates, will serve you during your stay. You can be sure that these young people are among the most outstanding and creative in our country today. They are selected on the basis of their experience working with children and in the arts, both as teachers and performers.

Children’s Musical

We also have two dozen practice rooms equipped with fine pianos for your playing pleasure. Although many Family Camp participants choose to fill their time with as many stimulating activities as there are hours in the day, Family Camp offers parents, grandparents and other adults time to relax while the children are busily engaged in exciting and meaningful arts classes. Feel free to relax in the shade of a mighty oak tree with your favorite book, or nap in the quiet solitude of your room. In the village of Idyllwild, a one and one-half

The Children’s & Junior Artist’s Center The Children’s Center (ages 5–12 years) and Junior Artist’s Center (ages 11–13 years) are designed for students who are interested in a focused intensive experience in the arts in an atmosphere which is responsive to the emotional and educational needs of young children and adolescents. The differences between the workshops offered by the Children’s Center and the Junior Artist’s Center are the level of content and concepts taught, along with the general level of concentration and maturity found within those age groups. There is much overlapping to provide parents a broader selection of courses to choose from. Students are housed by age regardless of the center in which they are enrolled. Skilled and experienced artist-educators use age appropriate materials and methods to convey the excitement and discipline necessary for achievement in the arts. Students are given technical instruction mixed with strong encouragement to come up with creative solutions posed by artistic

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Supervision Students are supervised in the dormitories by counselors. Most counselors are college students or recent graduates with a major or strong interest in the arts. Counselors are rigorously screened and interviewed before being hired. The Summer Program receives approximately ten applications for every open position. Counselors are selected based on their experience and interest in working with young people, their character references and their interpersonal communication skills.

— Pablo Picasso Ages 5 to 8 The Multi-Arts Day Progam is a special program for children ages 5–8 providing an introduction to theatre, movement/ dance, music and visual arts. Each week is unique in its presentation of the four areas of study. Students are encouraged to enroll in multiple sessions. See detailed information on the next column.

Pool

The Dean of Students organizes a comprehensive 11-day training and orientation session for all counselors prior to the beginning of the Summer Program. Topics covered during orientation include first aid, responsible counseling, conflict mediation, and campus safety.

Dorm Life

Counselors are the primary link between students and the Summer Program. Students can feel free to approach their counselors with questions, concerns or problems. Every effort is made to provide as much individual student-counselor contact as possible. Fun with the Counselors

The afternoon class session ends at 3:30 p.m. After classes students may return to the dormitory area for relaxation, participate in supervised activities or they may go to the swimming pool. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are filled with recreational activities created by the Student Services Staff. Students may sleep in and rest on Sunday mornings.

Housing There are four Children’s/Junior Artist’s Center dormitories, each with four student rooms, one counselor room and shared bathrooms. Students are housed by sex and age. Students are housed four or five to a room. Two or three counselors live in each dorm. There are three girls’ dorms and one boys’ dorm.

Day Students: Parents are requested to drop off their children by 8:30 a.m. at Bowman Arts Center, Monday–Friday for Multi-Arts, and Monday–Saturday for Specialized Programs. All day students are assigned to a counselor.

Supervised by their counselors, students are responsible for cleaning their own rooms and the common bathrooms. Cleaning supplies and vacuum cleaners are supplied by the school. Students are responsible for damages to facilities and property. Idyllwild Arts reserves the right to bill students for repair and/or replacement costs.

Day students follow the same daily schedule as residential students. Lunch in the Dining Hall and snacks are included in the day student tuition.

Policy On Phoning/Contacting Home Children’s Center & Junior Artist students are encouraged to contact their families via letter while they are in residence at the Summer Program.

Day students who wish to swim in the afternoons should bring a bathing suit and towel. Parents may pick up their children at 3:30 p.m. at the Children’s Center or between 3:30 – 5 p.m. at the pool. Idyllwild Arts cannot supervise day students after 5 p.m. Evening and Recreational Activities All residential students participate in an extensive program of recreational activities organized and run by the counselors. Game nights, short hikes, pool parties and dances are just some of the activities offered each evening from 7–9 p.m. On weekends, longer more extensive activities including art projects, informal drama productions, and field games are scheduled for Children Center students.

Vacation rentals including cabins, motels and campgrounds are available in Idyllwild for families with children enrolled in the Multi-Arts Programs. See page 1 for information regarding our Adult Program Workshops. Also, see information regarding our Family Camp on page 5.

Nature Walk

Students may call home Saturdays and Sundays. Calls must be completed by 9 p.m. Please note: Students are not permitted to call home at any time during the first week, from check-in on Sunday through Friday evening. This permits students time to acclimate themselves to being away from home and greatly improves the “Sleep Away Camp Experience”. Parents are requested to refrain from calling their children during this period. Parents may contact the Children’s/Junior Artist’s Center Dean and counselors during this time to find out how their children are doing.

If a 5 year old seems unable to handle the full day, parents will be requested to pick up the child at lunch time. The Multi-Arts program challenges children to use their imaginations to translate creative ideas/ images into Visual Art, Music, Movement and Creative Drama as separate disciplines as well as through integrative arts experiences. Each week the program will revolve around a theme of interest to children.

Cat Orlando

Students work in large and small groups throughout the day in a variety of age groupings so children have the opportunity to learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate in the arts. While the program is designed for children ages 5–8, it is recommended that any 5 year old be mature enough to handle a full day of program. Parents are welcome to stay the first morning only of each session until the children have gone to their first class.

We will work on improving your flexibility and technique as well as give you the tools you personally need to become an even better dancer and performer! Some of our time together will be spent creating art based on dance and movement using several different mediums. Our two weeks together will culminate in a very entertaining performance for family and friends to enjoy.

Jump behind the lens of a camera and make stories and characters come alive! In this course, students will become well versed in the world of film. This class is perfect for anyone that has a love of movies and television, and interested in how to make films. Students will learn and be exposed to the history behind the creation of the film camera and moving pictures. Through various exercises, the class will start to create, plan and storyboard their own films. All roles of a film crew, including acting, will be filled by the class so that all students can experience all aspects of film production, in front and behind the camera. Lighting for film, camera framing, and directing for film will all be taught in the class. Students will be involved in every aspect except editing. The hands on experience will allow students to go home and create movies of their own! The two week course will conclude with a showing of the finished product.

Two-week session Student Performance Saturday, July 13, 10 a.m.

This workshop is ideal for the late beginner through advanced piano student, and is open without audition to any child who has completed three years of piano study. Daily group activities include improvisation, theory and rhythm games, playing eight-hand music, discussing technique and interpretation, learning new practice skills, and listening to great recordings. Students practice two to three hours each day, during which they receive at least a half hour of individual attention, in the form of practice supervision and lessons. This intensified learning environment accelerates the students’ progress and helps them to focus for longer periods of time. Students are challenged to do their finest work in a relaxed, loving, and non-threatening atmosphere. Specific goals are to polish one learned piece, finish a work in progress, and prepare a new piece for performance in concert. Paul Nickels has taught Suzuki piano for 30 years, Dr. Laura Spitzer, is a concert pianist and Associate Professor at New Mexico State University, and. Janisa Tharp is a private teacher in Colorado.

Ever thought about how much fun it would be to see yourself on the big screen? This two-week intensive will focus on the technique and performance skills necessary for acting in front of the lens! Working on camera gives students the unique opportunity to view and critique their own work in order to help them accelerate in their craft. Students will have the opportunity to learn about film/television acting technique through working with the latest sides from film, episodic, and commercials. By focusing on the fundamentals of acting through the lens of the camera, young actors are encouraged to follow their impulses searching to find truth in their work. The first week will include exercises in relaxation, improvisation, and imagination as students learn to integrate their voice, body, imagery, and sensory-work. The second week will focus on bringing those tools to life on screen. A culmination of the sessions will be a screening of the students’ film work which will include their very own reel! Students should bring 2-3 solid-colored shirts, clothes to move in, and a heart ready to tell stories! Fees: See Specialized Programs, page 12. Enrollment limited to 14 students.

A fun theater experience designed for students who love to explore the world of imagination. Through the processes of brainstorming, improvisation, and rehearsals, students, in collaboration with the instructors, will create and perform an original play based on themes in Mythology and World Folklore, like last summer’s, Greeks Versus Gleeks. Within the fun of theater games and improvisation, students will learn acting techniques, vocal production, movement for the stage, as well as confidence and the art of collaboration. Additional rehearsals may be scheduled on the weekend and in the evenings.

Working in both large and small forms, the class will explore new methods of using art materials in both two- and three-dimensions. Using cotton batting and other materials, students will create life-size, soft-sculpture people and costume them with clothing of their choice. The class will make sculptures from wire, wood, aluminum, and other metals. We will create self-portraits using batik materials and natural dyes on cloth. In addition, the class will also batik on paper. The students will learn a new way of painting on canvas using acrylics and sand. We will also create designs on mirrors using glass, wood, jewelry, and beads and will make our own picture frames for our drawings and paintings. We will be doing a still life with flowers, incorporating the style of Georgia O’Keeffe. A popular project from last year using shoes will be incorporated into this summer’s program. Murals will be made throughout the session. Other projects utilizing additional materials will be incorporated.

Students will learn how to express movement, volume, and depth. They will learn the expressive powers of drawing through line, shading, and even scribbling! Through a series of exercises and activities students will be guided to find their artistic and creative selves. As we learn to be better observers we discover new and unexpected connections between ourselves and the world. Sculpture Expand your understanding of three-dimensional design while creating a variety of unusual and imaginative sculptures and structures. In this class we will develop art works in three dimensions after making concept drawings that describe the main idea of the sculpture. Relationships, size, texture, and positive, and negative space will be emphasized while incorporating a wide assortment of materials. We will explore and build with wax, clay, plaster, wire, wood, and papier-maché. Inspiration for our unique structures will be inspired by a variety objects and artists including, Dale Chuilly, organic forms, and natural materials from the woods around us.

This wildly fun course is for anyone who has a sense of adventure and loves to perform. Come learn the art of improvisation,where there are no scripts and nothing is planned. You make it up as you go along! Students will work as an ensemble to create stories, places and characters made up on the spot. At the end of the two week session, students will perform an entirely improvised show based off suggestions from the audience. It is guaranteed to be a show never to have been done before and never to be done again. Throughout the course we will explore the “rules” of improv (and promptly learn how to break them) as well as various styles of improv comedy, including classic short form games. No experience or prior knowledge of improv is necessary. Simply bring your imagination, silliness and a willingness to play!

This fun-filled program combines writing with acting in an exciting and creative workshop that culminates in a performance of an original work performed by the very students who wrote the words! Starting with characters created by the group, student actors and writers explore scenes and monologues using improvisation, acting games, storytelling, and group brainstorming. Actors can write to their own strengths-if you can play an instrument or sing or dance-use it! Express yourself-with yourself. The pieces may take many forms-poems, scenes, monologues-even songs. Then we will refine and rewrite-direct and combine-until finally these pieces will take the shape of our show. Fun will be had by all! Fees: See Specialized Programs, page 12.

We will study the play in depth and see a live, professional production of that same play at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. Students will audition for parts and learn basic stage and vocal techniques. Our production also may include basic stage combat, singing and/or dancing, depending on the talents of the individual cast members and the needs of the show itself. Additional rehearsal may be scheduled in the evenings and/or on the weekend. Time permitting, other activities may include Elizabethan mask making, sonnet writing and improvisational games based on Shakespearian verse.

Two-week session Student Performance

Saturday, July 27, 11:30 a.m. This unique and exhilarating program is designed for talented actors, singers and dancers. Students get the chance to work on an original or adapted musical from it’s early stages of development to its first performance at the end of this two-week session. Rehearsals with the director, musical director, and choreographer take place from 9–5, Monday thru Friday, with additional rehearsals that may be held in the evenings or on the weekend. In addition to performing, students may be asked to assist in various technical aspects of the production-costuming, props, set construction, etc.

Students will audition on the first day of class. Auditions will consist of a prepared, memorized song of the student’s selection, a dance audition, and a read-through of the play. The original musical is generally an ensemble piece. Every actor will have a speaking part and every actor will sing, although some parts are more demanding than the others, and not every actor will have a singing solo. There will also be several dance solo opportunities. Students will receive a letter in June with more specifics about the production and auditions.

Animation–which literally means “bringing to life”–is everywhere, and that’s exactly what animators do. Ever wonder how the Flying Carpet in Aladdin could show so much emotion? We’ll show you! Disney artists called Animation the “Illusion of Life”; and it’s been crafted and refined by imaginative storytellers at Disney, Warner Brothers, Pixar, Dreamworks and others. Now computers have helped trigger an explosion of animation for television, the web and in games for computers, phones and pods’n’pads of all flavors. With animation skills and tools it’s fun to make your drawings come alive. This immersive workshop is for anyone who wants to start animating, as well as develop foundation skills for future work in film, video, or the web. We explore the fundamentals of the art of animation and how to use Adobe Flash to create art and characters. No prior experience is needed–we only need our ideas and imaginations to create our own clips that can be uploaded and shared. You will develop a story from its beginnings as an idea and concept art to a finished, semiprofessional product. This work will integrate storytelling, movement, sketches and gesture drawing and you will gain familiarity with story and character development and storyboarding. Along the way, you will learn and apply existing skills to Flash tools to design and animate scene elements, characters, transitions, and special effects. You’ll learn the same essential techniques and tricks master studio animators have developed and we’ll take time to watch how they have applied them. Throughout you’ll be refining your own methods and style while creating a portfolio that integrates sketches, action studies, reference materials along with your digital creations. Have fun and bring your art to life!

Two-week session Culmination: Student Reading

Saturday, August 10, 10 a.m. Just as every young writer’s voice is completely unique, many of the most important writers of our time don’t really fall exclusively under  the categories of “poetry,” “fiction,” or “journalism.” In the age of Desk Top Publishing and the “OnLine” journal, new forms continue to appear. This exciting workshop attempts to cultivate new approaches to writing while simultaneously encouraging the new voices behind them. Are you a young writer who’s not sure what to write? Ever heard of “prose poetry”, “flash fiction”, or “lyric essay”? All forms, new and old, will be explored for the perfect match with a new voice. Workshop participants will meet each day with popular Los Angeles poet and educator Brendan Constantine. In an atmosphere of wonder and discovery, students will engage in fun writing projects, lively debate and discussion, word games and a few surprises. The class will also try “stress free,” “no pressure” projects to help with performance of their work utilizing easy techniques for public speaking. Materials : Students should bring a fresh notebook

and plenty of pencils and pens.

Although exceptional talent is always welcomed and acknowledged, the key to success in the program is open-minded and energetic participation. Instructors expect to work with students of all levels of ability and experience in a nurturing atmosphere that stresses strong educational and personal values along with outstanding achievement. Students should be prepared to work hard and learn a great deal. Although many optional recreational activities are scheduled for Youth students, the requirements of a student’s chosen course, be it a rehearsal, a class or a lecture, always take first priority.

their scene work on camera and for the realistic acting style required by the truth and intimacy of the close up lens. Script analysis, beats, actions, character development, and other elements are worked out.

Sketch performers, like the comic actors on Saturday Night Live, make it look easy, but there is a lot involved in making the public laugh. Those performers help write the material. In this two week program we will practice approaches to developing characters, creating scenarios, and presenting work that has both humor and depth. We’ll practice the tools that help make characters that can live on beyond one skit. We will also play with writing “genre pieces”, sequels, and comic adaptations. A music director will help the students in creating comic songs for their scenes and characters. The session will end with a public performance of all the comic masterpieces created over the two weeks. Learn the tools needed to generate more than a quick sketch. With these tools, you can continue to create endlessly. Tuition, room and board: $2850

Enrollment limited to 20 students. Leon Martell, Laurel Ollstein, see bios on page 44.

Working on a professional sound stage with state-of-the-art equipment, students learn how to operate a camera and record sound, giving them an objective perspective of the kind of acting the camera requires. The first of two scenes are shot, reviewed and discussed. Acting for the Camera is taught in tandem with the Directing for the Camera Class. Directing students participate in acting exercises to understand the actors’ language and needs, then work with actors developing the interpretation of the scenes and character. The second week style and genre are discussed and character development is further explored. Directing Students film and edit the scenes for a final screening for family and friends. Screenings of films created by the students are viewed. Students are asked to bring and open mind and an adventurous spirit!

Please note: All videos must be received by April 1. Students will be notified of acceptance into the program by April 20, 2013. Returning Song & Dance students do not need to audition for the 2013 session.

Saturday, July 13, 10 a.m.

Create one-of-a-kind jewelry! Students will learn the design theory and fabrication techniques needed to make wearable art. This session provides an excellent opportunity for one-on-one instruction for both beginners and students who already have experience. Lessons will cover everything from basic soldering, sawing, and forming, to more advanced gemstone setting, fusing, casting, and techniques using unusual materials!

Week I: Beginning with the Basics This intense workshop covers all the fundamental techniques of black and white photography from camera handling to the finished print. A complete introduction to the camera includes exposure calculations, image control, and uses of different films and lenses.

Projects will emphasize designing in the third dimension. Students will combine metals techniques to create earrings, rings, pendants, and bracelets in copper, brass, and sterling silver. The class will explore contemporary fashion trends and timeless styles. Students will come away with the rare skill of silversmithing, as well as a collection of finished handmade jewelry! This workshop is perfect for those who either have a passion for jewelry or fashion, or simply love designing art in the third dimension. The ability to work on a highly technical level with their hands is recommended. Materials : Students should bring an apron,

sketchbook, and drawing utensil. All other tools and materials are provided. Tuition, room and Board: $2850 Lab Fee: $175 (Includes the use of all tools,

equipment, brass, copper, sterling silver, gemstones, and consumables such as solder, sandpaper, acetylene gas, polishing compounds, etc.) Enrollment limited to 20 students. Ashley Potgeter, see bio on page 44.

Field trips and shooting assignments are followed by extensive work in the darkroom where students learn the proper techniques of film development, quality printing, print finishing and presentation. Students gain a working knowledge of darkroom equipment, chemistry and set-up. The class also provides an introduction to visual concepts in photography, such as the frame, composition, light & time; these elements are considered in depth in Week II. Week II: Learning to See This week stretches the student’s ability to “see” photographically. Students explore ways of interpreting the world through photographs so their images reflect what they feel and see. The aesthetics of photography are explored through slides, books, discussions and extensive individual and group critiques and workshop assignments.

By popular demand, this workshop is designed for those photography students who have taken the basic black and white photo workshop at Idyllwild Arts (or equivalent classes) and wish to explore new directions and experiment with new processes in photography. Through slide presentations, demonstrations, extensive darkroom work and critiques, students will be encouraged to develop an individual style and approach to work. They will continue to fine-tune their technical skills as well as be introduced to new processes and materials which will broaden their vision of the vast expressive potential of the photographic medium. During two weeks of intensive exploration and discussion, students will be challenged to sharpen their personal goals in photography and clarify the ideas behind their work. Over the course of the workshop students will work towards producing a series of coherent, related images to enrich their portfolios. Several field trips will provide locations for shooting. Materials : Students should bring a padlock for

lockers; two pieces of your work that best exemplifies both technique and personal expression; 35 mm camera; extra camera batteries; 8 rolls Tri-X film; Ilford RC Multigrade III or any fiber base paper of your choice, 5”x7”, 8”x10” or 11”x14”. Paper is sold at the campus store. Tuition, Room and Board: $2850 Lab fee: $70 (Includes printing supplies.)

Enrollment limited to 10 students. Eric Metzler, see bio on page 44.

Techniques of negative control through exposure and development changes are introduced, as well as more advanced printing techniques. The potential of toning and hand coloring to alter the black and white print is demonstrated. This week is designed not only to enhance technical knowledge, but also to clarify goals as a photographer, enabling the student to develop a new sense of direction and purpose. lockers, 35mm camera; extra camera batteries; tripod (optional); Tri-X film (24 or 36 exposures) 8 rolls; 8”x10” Ilford Multigrade RC printing paper - glossy surface preferred - 100 sheets; 5”x7” printing paper is also acceptable.

The types of fiction explored in this intensive workshop will range from the popular genres to the kinds of stories rooted in classical as well as experimental approaches to literature. No matter which direction students end up taking as writers, this workshop will provide groundwork for the exploration of the reality of the imagination. Throughout the meetings, the instructor will interweave his knowledge of the methods by which a young writer turns the aspiration to become a writer into an actual career.

Poetry Workshop Getting Serious About Poetry Open to students ages 14–18

July 14–27

Course # YYWP Ø3-Ø4

Two-week session Culmination: Student Reading

Saturday, July 27, 10 a.m. Writing poetry is a very reasonable response to being a teenager. But what is there beyond that? We’ll pursue what it means to take the writing of poetry–a very ancient art–seriously, as a field of expression and of study. Young poets already know that writing is a process of inspiration, passion, discovery, and understanding. This workshop, for beginning and advanced young writers, is rendezvouz for challenging ideas about poetry. You will discover new ways of reading and writing, deepen your familiarity with some great living and dead poets, and write many new poems, share them, and receive feedback from other students and the instructor. The only prerequisite is a love of language. The class will meet five hours a day, six days a week. At the end of the two weeks, students will produce an anthology, and present a reading for the school community. Everyone should bring notebooks, writing instruments and a few books of poetry they have enjoyed. Participants will have access to the Idyllwild Arts computer lab, to prepare drafts of poems for class critique. Tuition, room and board: $2850

Enrollment limited to 10 students. Ed Skoog, see bio on page 44.

Each two-week workshop will meet a minimum of five hours per day, Monday through Friday, with a shorter meeting on Saturday morning. Brief individual conferences with the instructor can be scheduled following the afternoon workshop. The annual culminating event of each workshop is the Saturday morning reading at the end of the second week, at which students will read a portion of their projects.

Tuition, room and board: $2850 Lab fee: $50 (Includes printing supplies.)

Enrollment limited to 10 students. Eric Metzler, see bio on page 44.

This summer’s intensive fiction workshop will focus on expanding students’ awareness of their craft as storytellers. “To make it memorable” is both the goal of each narrator in a story and the yearning of the writer who chooses the words. This workshop is for young writers who savor the creative use of language and have an insatiable desire to learn more about how to make their stories convincing. Each student is expected to write or substantially revise stories or chapters of longer projects throughout the course of the workshop. Please Note: In signing up for this workshop, each student acknowledges that she or he is capable of producing, on her or his own initiative, at least 500 words a day of writing.

Materials : Students should bring a padlock for

Morning and afternoon classes will include sustained discussion of the writing the students have produced during their writing periods. The tone of this discussion will always grow out of a respect for the effort required to produce well-written imaginative stories. Students are encouraged, but not required, to bring with them ten to twelve pages of creative writing they have done at some point in their lives. The emphasis in this workshop, however, is on producing as many drafts of new work as possible.

A few policies pertaining to safe and cooperative communal living, and adherence to State and Federal laws are enforced rigorously. 1) Smoking is prohibited for all Youth, Junior Artists and Children’s Center students.
