Last call to sign up for Shapeshifters Summer Youth Media Makers Camp, Session 1 (June 22-26)
Summer camp starts next week!
The Shapeshifters Summer Youth Media Makers Camp is a week-long, hands-on, workshop-style camp for youth, ages 12-17 to learn a variety of DIY, experimental film and sound-based processes from experienced Bay Area-based artists and educators.
Campers will come away with basic knowledge of experimental media history and practice, a deeper understanding of visual and auditory sense perceptions, and a foundational toolbox to continue making creative, DIY moving image and sound projects using simple and accessible resources and processes.
Session 1: June 22–26
Day 1: Panorama Crankies with Risa Lenore
Campers will learn how to make pre-cinematic moving panorama "crankies".
Day 2: Found Sound with Cheryl E. Leonard
Campers will learn how to produce and record sounds using natural and manmade found objects and various kinds of microphones and sound-making techniques.
Day 3: Cut Paper, Collage Animation with Lydia Greer
Campers will create collage animations using cut paper and digital animation software.
Day 4: Multimedia Poetry with Kathleen Quillian
Campers will explore intersections between image, sound, motion and language to create expansive, poetic, multimedia compositions.
Day 5: Material Cinema with Ellie Vanderlip
Campers will use inks, pens, needles, sand paper, bleach and other household materials to paint, scratch, puncture, and otherwise manipulate the surface of 16mm film to make moving images without a camera.
Camp runs 9am-3pm every day, with optional after camp from 3-5pm. We are also able to provide lunch from our café on request.
Sign up for Session 1 (June 22-26) & Session 2 (July 20-24) together and get a 10% discount (applied automatically).
Scholarships are available for students registered in a Title I school.
