production - Students create, write, cast, tape and enjoy the creative process of video production. Students are selected and work as teams to run the camera, write the script and most importantly, discover how much time it takes to produce a small amount of story on video tape. Concepts such as decision making, interview/audition and technical support are explored in this fun experience into the technological world of video. The lecture/demonstration includes: A brief discussion of the history of video (film & television), its effect on our lives, its use as a communication tool, and an overview of film & television as an industry. |

Painting a "Picture" of a Football Game |
~ Improvisation for the Theater ~ Students create pictures that come to life as they play improvisational theater games that teach them important life skills. Virtual Universe's "improv" workshop focuses on the actor as part of the ensemble and the actor's body as a tool. The primary concepts of the workshop are: trust, cooperation and support (for the group) and relaxation and concentration (for the individual). These are tools for life.The workshop is broken into three sections: Warm-up; Awareness and sensitivity for the group; and Practical application of games, exercises and fun. Physical improvisation leads to character development and scene building. Sensitivity of the individual towards his or her environment is stressed. Actors learn to keep a thread alive, to follow through with physical and vocal commitment and intensity. |
