WHAT's NEW?
Our overall theme of the week will be DEEP HARMONY. The inspiration for this theme, in part, is a special seminar exploring harmony led be John Morrison. We'll be continuing the multi-age Applied Creative Motion Classes this year, while moving those classes to the afternoon. Also - we are trying a new innovation in focus our work in both Adult Foundations and Adult Advanced Creative Motion with an emphasis on Creative Motion exercises. We've invited several staff members with deep roots in Creative Motion to alternate between the two classes and bring their special expertise in this area. We are continuing Student Expressive Arts classes and also instituting Adult Expressive Arts classes for four days this year, as well as a new track for Applied Creative Motion in Independent Studies. We are encouraging dancers, painters, photographers, and others whose learning needs are not met in the applied voice, piano or instrumental literature classes to select the Independent Studies option. We're extending Bach Chorales to 20 minutes this year, we're adding an extra session of Choir on Sunday night, and we'll make choral music in use during the conference available for sale. Our Friday night party theme is "Guess the Movie Titles." We're changing the procedure for check-out with our treasurer, it will be scheduled for 7:00-9:00am on Saturday morning. Be thinking about what you will be able to donate to our annual silent auction this year which will run from Monday through Thursday evening.
