This program will mix visual art and cultural exchange through guided tours of historical significance and instruction in traditional Balinese art and crafts. Students receive guidance in studio art and are expected to respond to their experiences through visual art and/or writing. Students can elect to work in whatever media they prefer. Instruction will be tailored to the individual’s needs.

This is a beginning level ballet class, with challenges offered to the more experienced dancer as well. We will begin with Pilates floor exercises to help strengthen and condition the body for the rigors of barre work followed by center work. Students will learn basic ballet terminology and steps. Ballet slippers are required.

This will be an interdisciplinary exploration of black popular music, especially those forms that emerged in the post-World War II United States. We will examine blues, jazz, rock & roll, soul, disco, funk and rap/hip hop in their historical, social and political contexts and the ways in which these genres have represented “complex, often deeply paradoxical phenomena which [have] managed both to challenge and affirm the core values and assumptions of mainstream America” (Brian Ward).
