Exploring Musical Theatre
Sunday, July 10 – Saturday, July 30, 2016
Participate in an exciting and rigorous program this summer with a special focus on musical theatre that includes acting technique, vocal technique, vocal coaching, choreography, and creating and developing original work. In acting, you will work on scenes from musicals and explore, take risks, and make mistakes in an environment free of judgment. Learn to connect character and singing through creative and healthy use of the vocal instrument. Discover ways to convey meaning through movement with a focus on honing your personal choreographic voice. Take part in the vibrancy of a creative ensemble which will work toward the development of a “work in progress” performance piece. If you love musical theatre, this three week intensive will develop and strengthen the skills needed to propel your creative work to the next level.

The International Film Institute of New York
Summer Film Intensive
Sunday, June 26 – Saturday, July 30, 2016
As part of a long-running partnership, Sarah Lawrence College and the International Film Institute of New York are happy to offer you a unique opportunity to learn the art of filmmaking in an in-depth, supportive, and intimate program. Gain hands-on experience and instruction in all aspects of filmmaking, focusing on four core elements:
- Writing for the screen
- Directing
- Production
- Post-production
Lectures feature hands-on camera work, augmented by special guest speakers and behind-the-scenes visits to Manhattan production studios and editing facilities. After you shoot three film exercises focused on different filmmaking techniques, you’re ready to write, direct, produce, shoot, and edit your own short video. You choose the format: narrative, documentary, or experimental. You may choose to stick to a script with actors, costumes, and a controlled set, or you may approach your shoot with the spirit of improvisation. The final product is your completed short—to which you own the exclusive rights—ready for your professional portfolio, graduate school application, or Web distribution.
