For Families of All Ages Family Camp is one of our most popular programs. Because enrollment is limited, it fills up very quickly. Families, from single parents with children and grandparents with grandchildren, to traditional families and extended families, have all found Family Camp to be the ideal family vacation. Relaxing, fun & educational, too!

Welcome to Family Camp!

Discover the Formula for a Great Family Vacation A r ts + O u t d o O r s + F u n + A ffo r da b i l i ty = F amily C amp Families who are looking for a vacation that combines the arts, the outdoors and a liberal dose of fun need look no further. Idyllwild Arts Family Camp is the answer. For seven days and six nights put yourself in our hands. No cooking, no cleaning, no driving, no hassles. We will teach you, entertain you and laugh with you. Set your own pace. You can fill your days with classes and activities, hiking, swimming and dancing. Or, you can sit around the pool (or under a giant cedar) and catch up on your reading. We think you’ll wind up doing all of the above during your week at Family Camp.

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.

Batik Class

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

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.

Bookstore & Exhibit Center

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.

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.

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.

Children’s arts activities are designed to be ageappropriate, educational and of course, fun.

Families will receive detailed information upon enrollment.

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.

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.

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.)

‘There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.’

— Graham Greene

Ages 5 to 8

Students meet at 8:30 a.m. at Bowman Arts Center for announcements, and walk with counselors to their 9 a.m. classes. Students have a one-hour lunch break plus morning and afternoon snacks.

Healthy snacks are provided by the school.

Ages 9 to 12

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.

Junior Artist’s Musical Theatre Performance

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.

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.

The primary differences between the Children’s Center and Junior Artist’s Centers are that Children’s Center students are always in the company of a staff member, counselor or faculty member. Although supervised, Junior Artist’s Center students are afforded a larger degree of independence and choices, appropriate for this age group, of activities outside of classes.

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 challenges. Instructors are chosen for their ability to work in a focused and supportive atmosphere with students of all backgrounds and abilities.

Students work hard yet never lose sight of the fun involved in their personal pursuit of artistic goals. Small classes and a low student to teacher ratio—approximately 9:1—ensure that students receive a great deal of individual attention and support.

Johanna McKay

Children’s Center Art

An important goal of the Children’s Center is for students to gain an enthusiasm and excitement for the arts as well as a basic foundation of technical knowledge.

Daily Schedule Residential Students: Children’s & Junior Artist’s Center classes run Monday–Friday from 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings, 9 a.m.–11:30 p.m.

beginning of the Summer Program. Topics covered during orientation include first aid, responsible counseling, conflict mediation, and campus safety.

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

Children’s Center Path

Snack Time

Housing There are four Children’s Center dormitories, three girls dorms with four student rooms, one counselor room and shared bathrooms. Students are housed by sex and age. Girls are housed four or five to a room. The boys’ dorm is divided into two large rooms each with twelve beds. Two or three counselors live in each dorm. There are three girls’ dorms and one boys’ dorm.

Pool Activities

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.

Student Pick-Up and Check-Out Students are free to be picked up by their parents at the conclusion of their final performance or culmination, and after they have been checked out of their dormitory rooms by their counselors.

In general, room cleanup occurs on the final Friday night before the end of the session.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

Young Writer’s Workshop

Parents may contact the Children’s Center Dean and counselors during this time to find out how their children are doing.

Meals Meals are included in the fees for resident students. Idyllwild Arts contracts with SACCO food service. Meals are served cafeteria-style in the dining hall. Food is wholesome and prepared for the general taste. There are vegetarian options at every meal including a hot entree at every lunch and dinner. In addition, an extensive salad bar featuring fresh fruits and vegetables is available at all lunches and dinners.

At lunch, Children Center students eat a simplified (fewer choices) version of the regular lunch.

Lunch is included in the day student fee. Day students may purchase breakfast or dinner at the door, if desired.

The school also offers a snack bar which operates on a cash basis. Sandwiches, snacks and soft beverages are available from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily.

General information Please see page 42 for additional information including campus location, transportation, and suggestions for items to bring on page 43.

See page 44 for information on discounts, credits and scholarships.

The Dean of Students organizes a comprehensive 11-day training and orientation session for all counselors prior to the

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.

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.

Each one-week session ends with an Open House on Friday at 2:45 p.m. The Open House is held each week at the Oaks which is located directly above the Children’s Center office.

Course # CCPW Ø1-Ø2

Two-week session Student Performance Saturday, July 23, 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. The co-directors are Paul Nickels, who has taught Suzuki piano for 25 years, and Dr. Laura Spitzer, who is a concert pianist and Associate Professor at New Mexico State University. They are assisted by Janisa Tharp, a private teacher in Colorado.

This is an exciting and fun-filled class for beginning actors hoping to deepen their understanding of theatre by learning to express themselves physically. The class will focus on the movement and physical aspects of character creation, improvisation techniques, and the use of masks as an expressive and powerful tool of storytelling. Students will begin the process by first learning to observe and make notes on what they feel and see in their “character journal”.

Next, we will use the observation as a foundation for the characters that we create. Through movement and improvisational exercises as well as emotional exploration, the students will “give birth” to their character. We will then artistically create masks for each character and begin the exhilarating process of putting our show together. The show will be created by the students with instructor encouragement to work naturally and instinctually.

The class will encourage young artists to explore their own capabilities with an emphasis on imagination and thinking outside of the box all the while learning stage-craft, the basics and techniques of improv, listening, ensemble work and trusting yourself and others on stage. With this training, the students will be equipped for further study in masks and theater, allowing them to advance into more advanced Idyllwild Arts Summer Programs classes with ease.

Drawing What You See Learn a whole new way to see the world through drawing! We will closely observe things around us, by drawing in class, taking walks in the woods, sketching other students around campus, and looking at great Master Drawings. 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.

3-D Explosion Come prepared for fun in the third dimension.

We will expand our understanding of threedimensional design and create a variety of unusual and imaginative sculptures. In this class we will develop three-dimensional works of art after making concept drawings that describe the main idea of the sculpture. Relationships, size, texture, and the idea of positive and negative space will be emphasized while incorporating clay, plaster, and paper mache. Inspiration for our unique structures will be inspired by a variety of objects and artists including, Dale Chahully, organic forms, and Googie architecture.

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!

View photos of Junior Artist’s workshops and performances from past summers by visiting our website at: www.idyllwildarts.org/juniorarts

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 your self. 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!

This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to animate and develop the foundation skills for future work in film, video, or the web. We’ll 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’ll learn how to design and animate scene elements and characters, enhance and apply existing skills to animation, as well as learn the Flash tools that are used to create scenes, transitions and special effects. Your work will integrate storytelling, movement, sketches and life drawing; through guidance and observation of classic and contemporary art and animation, you’ll explore the tricks and techniques animators use and how to refine your own methods and style.

Throughout the process, you’ll be creating a portfolio that integrates your own sketches, action studies, reference materials along with your digital creations. During production, you’ll gain familiarity with story development and storyboarding, and you’ll explore how to use design and color palettes to define artistic styles. Animators are welcome to bring their own artwork of characters or scenes they’d like to animate.

Have fun and bring your art to life!

Materials: Animators may wish to bring a USB thumbdrive.

This course is designed to introduce the wonderful world of textiles and fibers in design. Students will fabricate an original, moveable, collectible mohair animal. Fabrics and yarns will be used in knitting, crocheting, sewing and weaving projects. Instruction will be provided in the proper use of sewing machines.

In this Junior Artist Writing program we will explore various genres, including fiction, nonfiction, plays, personal narratives and poetry.

The workshop attempts to help each student explore his or her “unique” voice as a writer. We will discuss the meaning of that enigma called story–what makes up a story, how do we find them, how do we shape them once found? Using writing exercises, improvisation, theater games, word games, physical and intellectual exploration, students will both develop their stories and poems as well as storing up a host of ideas and beginnings for future work. We will also work on an interdisciplinary project with students in the comic class, and utilizing the instructor’s extensive background in performance, each student will learn how to read and perform their stories for an audience. The two-week session will culminate in a reading of work before an audience. Each student will also return home with a book collection of their own and their fellow students’ work.

Please bring one or two old pairs of denim jeans and several t-shirts for our recycled clothing project.

Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves completely in the course of their choosing. 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. Conversely, if a student feels the need for additional help or instruction, he/she can feel comfortable about asking an instructor for more time and attention.

Dance: Three to four 1.5 hour technique classes/ rehearsals each day, with brief rest periods between each class. Some evening activities include viewing dance videos along with informal lectures and discussions on nutrition and the prevention of dance injuries.

Music: Full rehearsals, sectional rehearsals, lessons, practice time, and master classes throughout the day and evening until 10 p.m. Faculty and student performances some evenings.

Theatre: Classes from 8:30 a.m.–Noon, and 1 p.m.–5 p.m. Rehearsals in the late afternoon and evenings.

Visual Arts: Classes generally meet 9 a.m.–Noon and 1 p.m.–4 or 5 p.m. Artists lectures occur some evenings.

Writing & Poetry: Classes meet together 9 a.m.–Noon. Writing assignments and individual conferences in the afternoons and evenings.

Student Pick-Up and Check-Out Students are free to be picked up by their parents at the conclusion of their final performance or culmination, and after they have been checked out of their dormitory rooms by their counselors.

In general, room cleanup and checkout occurs on the final Friday night before the end of the session. Most students depart on Saturday.

Students whose final performance/culmination takes place on Friday evening are welcome to stay until Saturday, and should be picked up no later than 11 a.m. Students whose final performance takes place on Saturday are requested to leave on Saturday. Students enrolled in Theatre Works! are required to stay until Sunday morning following their final performance in order to assist in striking the set.

Recreational Activities A variety of evening and weekend activities including dances, game nights, art playgrounds, pool parties, talent shows and field games are organized by the counselors and offered to students. Students are encouraged, but not required, to participate in these activities depending upon the scheduled requirements of their arts courses. Occasionally, students are required by their instructors to attend student and faculty performances.

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. Counselors are the primary link between students and the Summer Program. Students can feel free to approach their counselors with questions, concerns, problems or just plain homesickness.

Two-week session Culmination: Student Art Exhibit

Saturday, July 23, 10 a.m.

From its earliest days Animation has been the art of creating what Disney artists call the “Illusion of Life”, and over the years has been crafted and refined by imaginative storytellers at Disney, Warner Brothers, Pixar, Dreamworks and others.

Computers have brought about an explosion of animation, not only in studio productions but also in television, on the web and in games for computers and mobile devices.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to animate and develop the foundation skills for future work in film, video, or the web. We’ll 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’ll learn how to design and animate scene elements and characters, enhance and apply existing skills to animation, as well as learn the Flash tools that are used to create scenes, transitions and special effects. Your work will integrate storytelling, movement, sketches and life drawing; through guidance and observation of classic and contemporary art and animation, you’ll explore the tricks and techniques animators use and how to refine your own methods and style.

Throughout the process, you’ll be creating a portfolio that integrates your own sketches, action studies, reference materials along with your digital creations. During production, you’ll gain familiarity with story development and storyboarding, and you’ll explore how to use design and color palettes to define artistic styles. Animators are welcome to bring their own artwork of characters or scenes they’d like to animate.

Have fun and bring your art to life!

Materials : Animators may wish to bring a USB

thumbdrive.

Saturday, August 6, 10 a.m.

Saturday, August 20, 10 a.m.

This two-week practical course for seasoned and beginning actors is an intensive, and fun experience both in front of and behind the camera.

Students learn to experience the very intimate nature of acting on camera (versus theatre) and the demands of film and TV production on the actor.

The course begins with taping monologues that students have prepared. Archival film clips and a lecture demonstrate the differences between great theatre actors and great camera actors. The monologues are viewed.

Relaxation and imagination exercises combined with improvisation prepare the actors to shoot 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.

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 reflecting great acting are offered.

Performing a great audition is a continuing challenge to every actor. Finding the material that best suits you is the first challenge. As an actor, particularly as a young actor, one is often limited by the work that is available, unless… the actor creates his or her OWN work. In this two-week long program students will create characters, monologues, and scenes that are tailored for auditions and contests, “age appropriate”, and showcasing the actor at their best. We will also search through previously published material, classical and contemporary, that will help the student create the perfect audition portfolio.

The first week will focus on writing, improvisation, and finding just the right material for each actor. The second week will concentrate on the acting. Finally to culminate in a performance that showcases and celebrates the work that’s been developed and directed. As an actor your career starts with a great audition!

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.

Saturday, August 6, 10 a.m.

Open to students ages 14–18

This class is designed to provide instruction in the fundamental approach, techniques, and concepts of drawing and painting. Drawing will be taught almost exclusively using the human figure as a means of investigating line, contour, negative space, volume, light, composition, etc., using a wide array of media. Concurrently, studies in painting will focus on the mechanics of working in oil paint with use of the human figure, landscape, still life, and photographic imagery as subject matter. Each student will complete at least three to six paintings. This class will investigate various ideas and considerations regarding art in both historical and contemporary terms. Additionally, the studio will be open during evening hours for individuals who want to work on projects outside of class. The session will culminate in an exhibition in which each student will have his or her work on display.

This class is structured much like the first (see above) but continuing students will have the chance to broaden their inquiry with individual projects. All drawing will again be done in observation of a live model to investigate aspects of light, volume, composition, and line quality.

Painting will in this class offer the use of either acrylic or oil paint but group exercises will be pursued with acrylics. Each student will be expected to produce a series of paintings that will investigate an idea, theme or interest. Critiques will be given throughout the class to discuss concerns regarding the development of each students’ work. Instructors will assist students who are interested in compiling a body of work for college entrance portfolios. The session will culminate in an exhibition in which each student will have his or her work on display

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. 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.

Each two-week workshop will meet a minimum of four 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.

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.

This workshop will also include the opportunity to expand the range of one’s daily reading, which is an essential part of the development of any writer’s capacity to grow as an artist. The instructor will recommend books far beyond the usual citations of writers such as Melville, Borges, Proulx, Stone, Flaubert, Wolf, Joyce, Zola and Hurston. 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.

Tuition, room and board: $2650 per session

Enrollment limited to 10 students.

A stimulating workshop for anyone with a serious interest in writing poetry—from beginning students to those experienced young writers who wish to hone their craft and technique.

The only prerequisite is a fascination with the written and spoken word, a love of language in all its strange and wonderful possibilities. We’ll read and discuss contemporary poetry, explore what poetry is and where it comes from, and experiment with different forms and approaches to composition and revision.

The goal of the workshop is to help each student discover his or her own poetic voice and sources of personal inspiration. Students will be exposed to a wide range of poetry. While the emphasis will be on the creative process, students will produce at least one new poem per day. In an informal workshop setting, these poems will be read aloud and critiqued by the instructor and the class, giving students the opportunity to respond to one another’s work and receive constructive feedback from peers.

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 one collection of poetry they admire. Participants will have access to the Idyllwild Arts computer lab in the afternoon, so that they can prepare assignments and revisions of poems for class critique.

Tuition, room and board: $2650

Enrollment limited to 10 students.

Morning and afternoon classes will include sustained discussion of the writing the students have produced during their writing periods.

Upon moving to Los Angeles, Stephanie has made her living acting in television, film, commercials and theatre. She taught voice for several years at various acting schools in Hollywood. She pioneered a program at Roosevelt Elementary School in Burbank to teach Shakespeare to second graders-her concern being that children not be “afraid” of Shakespeare just because it sounds unusual. By the end of the course, the children were writing their own scenes and sonnets and knew more about William Shakespeare than most adults. She hopes to continue work of that nature as it truly made her realize that theatre is a universal language and a great way to communicate with children of all ages. Her full resume can be seen on www.StephanieErb.com.
