| Programming for youth
has been an important part of the Arts
Center’s mission. Through outreach programs
into area schools, after-school arts and
summer camps, the Arts Center has an
evolving program for young artists. As
technology has evolved, the programming has
moved with it. What was once a theatre camp
in the summer evolved into a tradition of
combining artwork and filmmaking in an
afternoon camp, and has now become a
residential camp available to youth from
around the country. Hosted at the beautiful
Mago Garden Retreat Center, our Summer Camp
is now a full immersion into creative
potential and the natural beauty of the
southwest. |

As taught by Susan
Green, filmmaking is
a collaborative,
group activity, a
process that brings
people from
different
backgrounds, even
different cultures,
together in a fun,
deeply artistic
pursuit. The
two-week residential
filmmaking camp
involves
script-writing,
acting, camera work,
directing, and
editing the
collection of all
the ‘assets’ needed
to create a film.
This process
encourages a ‘full
sensory awareness’
for the students
while they learn how
the rhythm of sound,
images and color
themes operate
together to create
the mood of the
story - the secret
‘behind the scenes’
work of filmmaking.
A second film ‘the
making of…’ will
document the overall
camp experience.
Each student will
get a DVD of the
finished films that
they created. Susan
Green holds an MFA
in film. Her most
recent film “Dance
of the Warrior
Mouse” was featured
in the Sedona
International Film
Festival.
Mago Garden Retreat
Center, located in
the high desert near
Sedona, will host
the Sedona Arts
Center’s Southwest
Immersion. A unique
feature of this
program is that part
of each day involves
a mind/body growth
program to improve
the students mental
focusing,
self-esteem and
physical well-being.
The Korean based
Dahn MuDo course
uses slow
non-contact martial
arts movements to
help the students
enhance the natural
balance and rhythm
of their body and
mind. The Power
Drumming Course
builds team spirit
and coordination.
Cost: $3500
Deposit: $500
Balance Due: $2500 - May 25 ‘09
