Pensacola Opera Announces 2009 Summer Camps
Pensacola Opera will present two weeks of Opera Camp this summer, providing
an environment for fun and learning for campers ages 8 to 13.
Opera Camp gives children a chance to experience all of the elements
of opera production. It culminates in a public performance of an opera
created by campers under the guidance of a professional opera director
and musical coaches. Campers play music and theatre games that teach them
the skills used in operatic performance, and will gain hands-on experience
in set, costume, prop, and makeup design. No previous experience or training
is necessary for Opera Camp.
· Week One, July 6 through 10, will conclude with a performance
based on Johan Strauss’ Die Fledermaus.
· Week Two, July 14 through 20, will have as its final
performance a version of Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel.
Each camp is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a final performance for families
at 5pm on Friday. Cost is $150 per week – each week is a separate
program; Opera Campers can choose to participate in either or both. Opera
Camp is open to students from age 8 to entering eighth graders.
Fee includes lunch, snacks, all materials and a t-shirt.

author of The Women of Lockerbie. Plotting Along, a workshop in playwriting,

Plotting Along, with Deborah Brevoort, will explore the most technical
aspect of writing - plot. Issues to be examined include: given circumstances,

with genres and subverting genre expectations. This will be a nuts and
bolts workshop, designed to give writers a toolbox of techniques, tricks
and devices to use when writing for the stage.
“We are so pleased to welcome Deborah back to WPI for another exciting
workshop,” said Courtney Miller, Co-President of WPI. “In the
past, Deborah has inspired so many of our workshop attendees that I am
sure several will return again this year. We hope to also welcome some
new aspiring women playwrights.”
Deborah Brevoort holds MFAs in playwriting from Brown University and
in musical theatre writing from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where
she currently teaches. She also teaches in the MFA playwriting programs
at Columbia University and Goddard College, and at the New School's Eugene
Lang College.
The registration deadline for the Plotting Along workshop is May

served basis. Space is available for 12 women playwrights and a payment
of $400 is required at the time of registration. The deadline for cancellation

Gulf Coast
Summer Art Classes at DFAC present a World of possibilities.
What is the earliest memory you have about the creative freedom of art?
Perhaps it's the smell of a new box of crayons as you first opened them,
or the tremendous feeling of the clay squishing between your fingers as
you squeezed it. A blank sheet of paper, a ball of clay and a world of
possibilities.
Those possibilities of course are still there inside of you. The Dunedin
Fine Art Center just wants to help you realize them. There are no grades
in their classes, no failure, just the reward of freeing your creativity.
The Dunedin Fine Art Center's Gladys Douglas School of the Arts is currently
registering for Summer classes, with discounted tuition rates for DFAC
Members. Daytime, evening and weekend classes are available as well as
one day to week-long workshops in a variety of media. Register now

Created in 1984, the Dalí Museum Junior Docent Program is a summer

attention as they learn about the collection. This program concludes with
a public reception where the children conduct the tour, sharing their
knowledge of Dalí and his paintings with the public. Junior docents
are encouraged to put the information in their own words, helping them
to appreciate art in new ways. They participate in fun, surreal-inspired
activities; and they make new friends.
Ultimately, the Dalí Junior Docent Program benefits students by
building self-esteem, enhancing their speaking skills, providing opportunities
to verbalize personal choices, and bringing families into the museum to
share in the students' accomplishments.

session. These projects will require a commitment to the program beyond
attending class. Homework will be expected each week. But it's theater,
so it's fun homework, right?
The short play in the spring will have the opportunity to be seen by
public audiences and will be a fully realized production.
Ami Sallee Corley instructs, along with visiting artists teaching specialty
workshops throughout the fall and spring, allowing the classwork to reflect
the mainstage season at The Gorilla. Students and parents are encouraged
to become season ticket holders and a special Gorilla Gang discount applies
to students and their families.
Individual instruction is also available to help with the homework between
group session or doe help with outside projects or auditions.

Turning Memories into Memoir
Instructor: Neil de la Flor
Six Mondays: June 1-July 6, 2009, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Join this fun and innovative introductory course to memoir writing.
Open to everyone, from beginners to advanced writers, this course will
encourage students to find what they've forgotten and turn those memories
into fabulous works of prose and poetry. Through innovative writing techniques,
such as exquisite corpse and other in-class writing games, students will
experiment with language as a way to access their sub/unconscious memories.
Students are encouraged to bring in old photo albums, thoughtful letters
from family and friends, and other keepsakes to help jumpstart the process.
Neil de la Flor’s literary work has appeared most recently in Court
Green, No Tell Motel, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Sentence, and Barrow
Street. He is also the co-author of Facial Geometry, (NeO Pepper Press)
a chapbook of collaborative triads written with Maureen Seaton and Kristine
Snodgrass. He is lives in Miami, Florida.
Writing Earth—An Intro to Environmental Writing
Instructor: Michel Hettich
Six Tuesdays: June 2-July 7, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
In this six-week workshop we will write and critique poems, stories and
personal essays that take the natural world as their subject matter. In
addition, we will attempt various writing exercises designed to develop
students’ abilities to write in organic forms and to think in ways
that attempt to capture something of the “inner life” of nature
as it exists in South Florida and the larger North American landscape.
We will also examine examples of great nature writing as we attempt to
extend and deepen our conception of the genre’s possibilities.
Michael Hettich has published a number of books and chapbooks of poetry,
most recently Flock and Shadow: New and Selected Poems (New Rivers Press)
and Swimmer Dreams (Turning Point), both of which were published in 2005.
His most recent chapbook, Many Loves, was published in 2007. A new book,
Like Happiness, is forthcoming from Anhinga Press in 2010. His poems have
appeared in such journals as Witness, Poetry East, Orion, Prairie Schooner,
and TriQuarterly. His website is Michaelhettich.com.
Writing Really Short Stories—All About Flash Fiction
Instructor: David Beaty
Six Thursdays: June 4-July 9, 2009, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Flash fiction? Sudden, mini, micro, postcard, short-short? These are
names for very short stories, between 250 and 1,750 words long. The genre
is experimental, the word length variable. In this workshop we’ll
investigate very short stories, and we’ll write our own. We’ll
read and discuss anecdotes, scenes, advertisements, jokes, parables, prose
poems, and very short fiction by established writers such as Hemingway,
Peter Altenberg, and Jayne Anne Phillips. Expect writing exercises in
workshop, and be prepared to bring in your own very short fiction to be
discussed.
David Beaty has lived and worked in Greece, England and Brazil. A graduate
of Columbia College, he earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Florida
International University, where he was a recipient of the Josephine Friedman
Award For Fiction. His short stories have appeared in Miami Noir, Unbound
Press, Having A Wonderful Time, and other anthologies and literary journals.
His short story, "Ghosts," was chosen for The Best American
Mystery Stories 2000; and, most recently, his story, "The Last Of
Lord Jitters," received honorable mention in The Best American Mystery
Stories 2007, edited by Carl Hiaasen.

Charon Kransen: Developing Your Talents for the Design Arts
This seminar is recommended for serious artists who aspire to be nationally
or internationally recognized as tops in the fields of Sculptural Objects
and Functional Arts. Jewelers, ceramicists, glass artists, woodworkers,
sculptors & collectors of the Applied Arts are encouraged to attend.
Kransen's seminar is based on the concept of encouraging artists to
work from their unique talent instead of relying on the more common route
of commerical work that is often dictated by main-stream demand/taste.
He will give psychological insights that will inspire and empower each
artist.
His premise is that most artists are ill prepared in matters relating
to professional life in their relationship with galleries, dealers and
clients, The seminar focuses on issues of: identity, recognition, success,
clients, collectors, "the market", ethics, presentation and
galleries.
To that end, Kransen directs discussion around central themes of dealing
with how galleries work, what their motives are, how they select work,
how they develop a vision, and how the artists develops contacts with
the gallery, with the client and with the dealer.
Workshop dates: April 3, 4 & 5
Tuition: $330

A “Contemporary” Art Camp
Once again, Art Center Sarasota is getting ready to kick off its popular
Creative Kids Summer Art Program. Summer Camp at ACS is a long-standing
tradition. The Center itself, remarkably, is the oldest arts organization
in Florida and goes all the way back to 1926. So what's in store for 2009?
"We've scheduled ten spectacular, fun-filled weeks between June
8 and August 14," says youth outreach coordinator Dr. Phyllis
C. Brown. Each week will explore a different theme, ranging from the circus,
an all-time favorite, to the world of the news. The program is designed
for children aged 6 to 11 and teens aged 12 to 16. Classes will run Monday
through Friday from 9:30am to 3pm and will be led by professional arts
educators.
The Art Center has rightly identified the community-building potential
of the art camp experience and will ensure that students come from diverse
backgrounds. Several scholarships have already been awarded to economically
disadvantaged children. But of course creativity, especially that of children,
knows no social barriers.
“This summer promises to be the most wildly imaginative yet. Students
will delve into the magic of art. There will be butterflies, birds, beasts,
medieval mysteries and visits to far-away cultures. We will design costumes,
paint acrobats and yes, there will be a little bit of ‘clowning around’".
Learning through play seems to be an essential part of the Art Center’s
unique and proven approach to summer youth education. But the program
is not without a certain rigor. In a safe and supportive environment,
campers will acquire demonstrable, hands-on skills in a wide variety of
techniques including painting, drawing, sculpture, printing, collage,
beading and textile dyeing. In keeping with the digital age, kids will
also learn the basics of graphic design. “Ours is a very contemporary
Art Camp”, states Dr. Brown.
Another sign of the times is the ecological theme that dominates the
whole summer. “Art is more than just an enjoyable creative outlet
for kids. It’s more than a developmental tool. Art can raise environmental
awareness. And for the first time, we're going green.”
Children will look to nature for inspiration and learn how to use art
to promote a healthy environment and a peaceful, sustainable world. Many
of the planned projects will emphasize the use of recycled materials and
natural resources such as clay. Kids will also work with found objects,
sticks, leaves and feathers. They will even paint with vegetables. This
summer, we can expect some really delicious artwork to be created at Art
Center Sarasota.
The fee for a 5-day week is $145 for ACS members and $195 for nonmembers
and includes all supplies. Call 941.365.2032 to reserve a spot for your
child or log on to www.artsarasota.org.

training and directing youth in the performing arts. He is an actor, comedian,
playwright, composer and director. He has been featured on several TV
shows and in local and regional theatre.
The season's final guest speaker will be Samuel C. Holladay AIA of Siebert
Architects on Monday June 15, 2009. Sam is a graduate of the University
of Florida and became president of the firm in 1994. He is renowned for
the establishing Siebert as the seminal leader in developing and maintaining

THE OREGON COAST CHILDREN'S BOOK WRITERS WORKSHOP, SUMMER 2009
www.occbww.com
This summer, July 13-17, 2009, we proudly will present the seventh
Oregon Coast Children's Book Writers Workshop www.occbww.com in the exquisite
Oregon coast town of Oceanside. The instructors will be five authors,
David Greenberg, Eric Kimmel, Pamela Smith Hill, Tom Birdseye, and Margaret
Anderson, one children's book agent, Susan Cohen (Writers House), and
two children's book editors, Molly O'Neill (HarperCollins), and Jill Dembowski
(Little, Brown). Summer Workshop 2009 promises to be our best yet because
- The instructor-student ratio will be a maximum of one to six,
- We will have five author-instructors (specializing in novels, picture
books, non-fiction, and poetry), one children's book agent-instructor,
and two editor-instructors,
- Each day, you will meet with an instructor for at least one comprehensive
consultation, and
- You can have one-on-one informal meetings with instructors each day
as well, and
- We will offer at least twelve instructional lectures on various aspects
of writing and publishing.
- There will also be guest lecturers
If you are ambitious to publish a children's book (or simply adore children's
books), this is the workshop for you. One of our 2003 students, Maureen
Hoessle, has just had her first book published: Under Three Flags, Exploring
Early St. Louis History. She credits our workshop for helping to make
this happen. Another student, Anne Carrelli, gives us great credit for
the imminent publication of her first picture book, Amina's New Friends.
Three other authors from our past workshops have signed with Susan Cohen,
our agent-instructor, who is actively representing their work (and who
will be back with us next summer).
The course is available for graduate credit.
For complete information, including reviews from last summer's attendees,
we welcome you to visit our website at www.occbww.com
If you're interested in joining, there are only a handful of class slots
left, so you should probably register fairly soon. www.occbww.com
Costa Rica
Writers' Retreat
Costa Rica Writers' Retreats at Docelunas 4-star resort, an eco-friendly,
tranquil oasis on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Our writers' retreat will
reawaken your senses and creativity. Write, listen to one another read
aloud, and give feedback underneath a palm thatched roof, with the aromas
of your next meal prepared by a master chef infusing the air. Sit on your
private porch and work on that novel chapter you've been struggling with
all winter. Climb the steps to the yoga studio overlooking the gardens
and rejeuvante with a bellydance or yoga class; Docelunas has the only
certified Bikram yoga studio at a hotel in the world. Give yourself the
gift of space and your imagination the recharge of an environment teeming
with artistic stimulation: scarlet macaws, toucans, and blue butterflies.
Week-long retreats taking place in May and June of 2009 will
be led by Vanessa Blakeslee, Vermont College MFA in Writing graduate and
Amherst Writers & Artists Affiliate. The retreat team will include
Vermont College faculty Robin Hemley, Xu Xi and Sue Silverman. Writers
working in all genres and from all levels of experience are welcome. Several
times a day we will come together to write from exercises offered which
follow the Amherst Writers workshop method (AWA), as well as produce new
work in themed workshops throughout the week. Craft talks will be given
on several evenings after dinner. Daily breaks allow for optional excursions
to beautiful Punta Leona beach, Carara National Park, and Playa Hermosa.
Your time is your own to write, relax, explore, reconnect with others...and
yourself.
