Most of the class will be about the work, but of course some of the class will be devoted to the business, and the improvement (or creation) of your sketch packet. 6 weeks. No experience required.

	One-Day Workshop: Move It!
	Using music and silent scenes, learn to engage your whole self in your work. Do you watch other people make fun strong choices and quietly feel jealous rage? Stop it. Take this. Do it. Move it. I like you. This is very fun and please wear sneakers or shoes that you would walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in. Be playful. Come. Instructor: Jean Villepique Day: Monday, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm Starting: Aug 2, 2010

	One-Day Workshop: Tune Up
	In my experience, students seek a great deal of individual feedback. Come to this workshop and get just that: non-judgmental, constructive observations to help you break patterns that have developed. I will watch you play with others, let you know what I see, and offer you some tools to grow beyond your current level. Instructor: Jean Villepique Day: Tuesday, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm Starting: Aug 3, 2010

Instructor: James Eason Day: Wednesdays, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm Starting: Aug 25, 2010
