ArtWorks - Spring 2009

Artworks


ArtWorks Spring 2009
Spring Session: February 18-May 21
Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30-7PM

ArtWorks is a teen leadership program for middle and high school students, ages 12-17. The year-long program consists of an intensive summer session, followed by after-school lessons and activities in the fall, winter, and spring; and eventually culminating with a final production at SOPAC in the spring.  The final production will be an original performance created by the students.  

Students will meet at SOPAC throughout the entire year and learn what it takes to create and refine a performance, work collaboratively to set and achieve goals, and take their work to the next level of success. In addition to working as the creators and performers of an original musical, students will also work as apprentices to learn about the work ‘behind the scenes’ at SOPAC.

Students learn about the business, administrative, and production side of a performing arts center through workshops within SOPAC departments, including Marketing & Communications, Development & Fundraising, Box Office/House Management/Customer Relations, Event Planning, Finance, and Stagecraft/Technical Theater.

Students are taught leadership, conflict resolution, and professional communication skills, so they can successfully manage projects, work effectively within a group, organize and present their projects, and proactively research unique opportunities for their ensemble.

The goal of the Artworks students is to act as leaders to promote positive changes in society through the use of student talent, creativity, and passion.
