Washtenaw Community College School of Music Performing Arts

Washtenaw Community College School of Music and Performing Arts.

http://www4.wccnet.edu/academicinfo/creditofferings/programs/schools.php?code=SMPA

Students learn basic creative and performance skills in music, drama and dance and how they are applied in a professional setting. Whether you are exploring your own talents, coordinating the talents of others, or practicing the techniques you will need to make a living at your craft, the School of Music and Performing Arts provides the fundamentals you need.

TRANSCRIPT:
Do you feel more alive when you’re on stage, or as part of a creative team? Have you always wanted to act, dance, compose, but have been afraid to try? Then think about WCC’s School of Music and Performing Arts. There’s no other field where you can express yourself to the world. It doesn’t matter what your experience level is. We only care that you grow. The School of Music and Performing Arts is unique. Why? Because it can train you for a career in the arts or provide a background for an appreciation that can last a lifetime. We’ve had students go on to form their own dance companies, perform with the Blue Man Group, write with such artists as Madonna, and transfer to top four-year performing arts programs. You don’t find this level of equipment and rehearsal space in many schools. We have pianos, space for guitar lessons, a soundproof studio, computers set up with all the applications you need to learn sequencing, producing, arranging. We have large dance studios and two theater stages. In Towsley Auditorium, you can learn sound reinforcement and perform in front of hundreds of people. And yes, we have traditional classrooms where you will learn the valuable art of managing your own career as a performer or music engineer. These instructors know what they teach because every single one of them works in the field. They spend their time performing around the country and working with other artists. You get personal, individual attention from these high-caliber instructors, and they know tons of people in the business who can help you. The tuition at WCC is very reasonable — probably what you’d make playing a few gigs. And there are lots of loans, grants,and scholarships that you may qualify for. So whether you want to work on stage or behind the scenes, you can develop an appreciation for the performing arts, and WCC can help make it happen.

Artsworld – Palestinian theatre – 06 Sep 08

Posted by admin on February 28th, 2010 and filed under community arts theatre | 25 Comments »

This week Artsworld visits Freedom Theatre in the Jenin refugee camp. This pioneering project is the only professional venue for theatre and the arts in the north of the Palestinian occupied territories. Zakaria Zubeidi, the head of the al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade in Jenin in the West Bank, has now put down his weapons and believes that children’s theatre is an important way to fight for Palestinian statehood.

The programme also features the China Disabled People’s Performing Arts Troupe, which has entertained audiences in more than 50 countries. The troupe consists of 100 performers who say their tightly knit community has given them a renewed sense of pride and purpose despite a history of discrimination that continues to haunt many of China’s 80 million people with disabilities.
