their own hand puppet using theater games and character analysis. The
groups will come together at the end of the week to perform in a fun revue
with scenes and music starring the characters they have created.

Women Playwrights’ Initiative Presents 3rd Annual Playwriting
Workshop
Registration Deadline extended to April 15
Women Playwrights' Initiative (WPI) announces its next Playwriting
Workshop, led by award-winning writer Deborah Brevoort. The Workshop,
May 31-June 1, 2008, will be held at Rollins College in Winter
Park, Fla., WPI’s third partnership with Rollins and its Department
of Theatre.
The Workshop for women playwrights, titled “Writing the Main Character,”
will explore how writers can make main characters more compelling, according
to the New Jersey-based playwright who also lead the 2007 WPI Workshop.
Last year’s workshop participants raved about their experience.
Comments included: “The Workshop was a nurturing and constructive
venue for women,” and “I now see the value of knowing what is
and isn’t possible for actors to do.”
Brevoort’s lengthy credits include Blue-Sky Boys – a fantasy
about the heavenly heroes who inspired the engineers of the first Apollo
moon mission. A workshop production of the play was Brevoort’s first
appearance at PlayFest 2008 – The Harriett Lake Festival of New Plays
in Orlando. She calls it her “first accidental script.”
Brevoort is well-known as the author of The Women of Lockerbie, which
was produced Off-Broadway in 2003 and in London in 2005. In late 2008,
it is slated to tour for two years, produced by Tim Robbins’ Actors
Gang in L.A.
For more information about the Workshop, contact Jennifer Cavenaugh,
Associate Professor in Theatre, who is producing the event for WPI: 407-691-1268

21st Anniversary Photographic Tour of Switzerland with Crealdé
Executive Director, Peter Schreyer
May 10-18, 2008
Late this spring Crealdé School of Art Executive Director and
Swiss native, Peter Schreyer, will guide his 21st photographic tour of
Switzerland. Schreyer is a trilingual, internationally exhibited documentary
photographer who has been teaching photography for 25 years in both community
and college environments. He is well known throughout the state for leading
documentary projects that celebrate the history and heritage of Florida
communities. This tour to his native country appeals to photographers
of all levels and travelers interested in an insider’s view into
the history, contemporary life and physical beauty of this 700 year old
democracy in the heart of Europe.
Participants will spend a leisurely nine days exploring and photographing
the Swiss alpine region, the picturesque lake district, the Swiss Riviera,
and historic cities small and large, including Berne, Interlaken, Montreaux
and Lucerne. The tour group will be small (only eight participants to
ensure maximum personal attention) and will travel off the beaten path
along scenic back roads. Deluxe hotel accommodations have been selected
for their picturesque settings and excellent dining. Excursions via our
private rental van and topics will vary from day to day, allowing flexibility
for the group’s specific interests. Historic farmhouses and vineyards,
Alpine mountain scenery combined with light hiking, scenic train and boat
rides, medieval towns and castles are just a few features of the planned
day trips.
Tour cost for the land package is $2,195 (or $2,150 with a $35 Crealdé
School of Art membership-an amazing miracle of math, saving you $10 for
even more benefit), including a $500 deposit. It includes eight nights
of deluxe accommodations, eleven meals, all ground transportation, admissions,
trip and equipment preparation meeting prior to departure and photographic
guidance and instruction throughout the trip. For more details visit www.crealde.org

New Expanded Orlando Youth Opera Program
Robert Swedberg, General Director of Orlando Opera, today announced
the expansion of the company's renowned Orlando Youth Opera (OYO) into
an encompassing Youth Opera Program. The expanded program, available to
Central Florida students ages 7 to 18 years-old, is designed to explore
the many facets of opera in a broadened format that will augment and enrich
the musical education of the area's many young performers. Students who
register to become members of OYO will continue to provide the opera with
classically influenced young singer-actors for Main Stage (Bob Carr Performing
Arts Centre) and Second Stage children's chorus and supernumerary (non-singing)
roles. The new two-tiered registration and tuition format will allow those
OYO registrants to enjoy various member benefits, including attendance
at dress rehearsals and other special events, while selectively participating
in the new series of class offerings at reduced fees.
"I am excited by the wonderful opportunities unleashed by this
approach," says Mr. Swedberg. The class offerings will feature a
series of Master Classes (classes featuring an expert or professional
in opera), Workshops (interactive instruction by performing arts professionals)
and Intensives (clustered classes relating to a single topic) in all disciplines
of the opera art form. The program will also provide educational experiences
and performances in collaboration with the many other members of the Central
Florida arts community. For the first time, individual classes are now
also offered to non-OYO members in a widening effort to share the broad
scope of operatic arts with any interested students.
For OYO membership registration materials and class information, please
contact Bobbie Demme-San Filippo at bobbie@orlandoopera.org.
Orlando Opera is a non-profit organization, with productions that are
made possible, in part, by generous funding from our patrons, The National
Endowment for the Arts, Florida Department of State Division of Cultural
Affairs, Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council
and United Arts of Florida.

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.

Photographic Travel: Papua New Guinea
Instructor: Rick Sammon
A photo tour to Papua New Guinea is like going back in time 10,000 years.
It is exotic, fascinating and it offers some of the most thrilling photography
in the world. Join Rick Sammon for his second visit to Papua New Guinea
– which Rick calls, “The last great adventure on the planet.”
Be part of a small and dedicated group of photographers on a special and
exotic journey to photograph the Huli Wigmen and the Mudmen – and
other clans – in this tropical and enchanted island paradise. You’ll
get the most amazing people picture of your life and Rick will help you
enhance them in Photoshop at day’s end. The people and culture of
Papua New Guinea will be the focus of the workshop. But workshop participants
will also focus their cameras on the incredible flora and fauna of Papua
New Guinea. This is not the typical “tourist trip.” You’ll
get up and personal with the local people, something few visitors to Papua
New Guinea get to experience.
Package Price: $5,395, double occupancy; $6,295, single occupancy
Includes tuition, hotel, breakfast, dinner, land transportation, guide.
Tips to guide and driver not included. International and domestic airfare

June 23-July 7
Photographic Travel: Mongolia
Instructor: Vincent Versace
Of all the world’s arid lands, the Gobi (which means simply “desert”)
has the great air of mystery about it, perhaps because it lies at the
heart of Asia’s remotest hinterland between the Siberian wilderness
to the north and the Tibetan Plateau to the south. Largely unchanged since
the days of Genghis Khan, Mongolia represents a rare opportunity to follow
in the footsteps of the ancestors, in the path of the nomad. Most Mongolians
adhere to Tibetan-style Buddhist beliefs, despite attempts to dismantle
religion during the Stalinist purges. These tenacious people live in round,
collapsible gers with their livestock, moving with the seasons.
Join Vincent Versace on this itinerary created to provide photographers
a quintessential glimpse of Mongolian life and landscapes.
Package Price: $5,295 double occupancy; $5695, single occupancy
Includes tuition, accommodations-hotel, tents and gers, meals, land
transportation, guide, tips to guide and driver entrancxe fees, and horse
riding. International and domestic airfare not included. Space limited
to 12 participants.
July 5-16
Photographic Travel: Peru
Instructor: David Muench
Join David Muench on this journey through a timeless land. Cuzco, the
archaeological capital of South America, is backed by lofty mountains
and surrounded by cultivated fields. More than 500 temples, Inca palaces,
dwellings, terraces, other significant remains, colonial churches, convents,
monasteries and mansions, as well as the famous ruins of Machu Picchu,
are in the region. We will begin and end our adventures in the city of
Cuzo (considered by the Incas to be the center of the world), which we
will photograph by day and night. Leaving Cuzco, we will travel through
the Sacred Valley on the Incas, a winding river valley surrounded by the
snow capped peaks of the Andes. The area contains glorious remains of
ancient civilizations, such as Pisac and Chinceros, which host colorful
local markets, and we will have the opportunity to photograph the traditional
mountain village of Willoq and Ollantaytambo, the oldest continually occupied
settlement in the Americas. David also leads us to the amazing site of
Machu Picchu – the most dramatic and enchanting site of all the Inca
sites in South America. We will spend three nights in Tambopata, where
we will experience the Rainforest and get pictures of toucans, parrots
and macaws. On the field and through evening critiques, David will help
you create great meaningful images. Peruvian native, photographer and
Palm Beach Photographic Centre Executive Director Fatima NeJame will also
be on hand to answer your questions and guide you through the “Land
of the Incas.”
Package Price: $4,295 double occupancy; $4695, single occupancy
