Dillard University’s Department of Humanities Launches Theatre/Art Summer Enrichment Camp
Dillard
University’s Department of Humanities Launches
Theatre/Art
Summer Enrichment Camp
Five-Week
Camp to Run From July 9 to Aug. 10 for Just $10 per Day
(New Orleans) The Dillard University Department of Humanities will
host its first Theatre/Art Summer Enrichment Camp for students ages 5 to 13
from July 9 to Aug. 10. The program will focus on theater, art and music and
run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with options for after-camp
care.
The program aims to assist parents during the period of summer
when many camps have ended and they find themselves at an impasse – trying to
find somewhere safe, affordable, enriching and easily accessible to place their
children until school begins.
Campers will act, paint, write, draw, sing and play musical
instruments. They will go swimming, attend dance classes, and take arts-related
field trips. Other activities will include movie screenings and talkbacks in
which children and counselors discuss the films. The camp will culminate with
an event on its final day that will enable students to display their art,
musicianship and acting abilities to their friends and families.
The
five-week camp costs $250 per child (or just $10 per day), with $25 discounts
for siblings. After-camp care is available for an additional cost.
Interested parents (and volunteers and donors) are encouraged to
contact Zena Ezeb in the Department of Humanities at (504) 816-4450 or (504)
816-4689 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to learn more or to
enroll their children. Voice messages will be returned promptly.
Dillard to Take Part in Nationally Staged Reading of James Baldwin’s “The Amen Corner” on June 18
James
Baldwin’s “The Amen Corner” on June 18
(New
Orleans) Dillard University will host a reading of “The Amen Corner,” a 1954
play by author and activist James Baldwin, on Monday, June 18 at 7 p.m. in the
Georges Auditorium. The reading is part of the second annual “One Voice, One
Play, One Day” project, in which one significant work of black theater is read
on the same day, at approximately the same time, in theaters across the
country.
“One
Voice, One Play, One Day” is an initiative of Project 1 Voice, a national
performing arts organization dedicated to the preservation of black theater.
Project 1 Voice will present the reading at Dillard University in conjunction
with the American Theatre Project of New Orleans.
“The
Amen Corner” tells the story of a family in Harlem in the mid-20th century
trying to navigate its faith, relationships and careers amidst a backdrop of
poverty and racism. The New Orleans reading will star Sherri Marina,
formerchair of Dillard University’s theater department, and Nicoye Banks (“Law
& Order,” “Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day”), as well as
members of the Chakula Cha Jua Theater Company and the Anthony Bean Community
Theater, which recently produced “The Amen Corner.” Ed Bishop, artistic
director for the American Theater Project of New Orleans, will direct.
In
2011, the inaugural “One Voice, One Play, One Day” presentation featured
readings of Alice Childress’s “Trouble In Mind” in 18 theaters across the U.S.
Tickets
are $10 and will be available at the door. To learn more, visit atpno.org or
project1voice.org, or contact Ed Bishop (504) 957-9283.

future. Quite simply, the tech giant is pinning it's hopes, dreams, and
revenue to the tablet-friendly Windows 8 as well as a new brand of tablet.
We've seen Windows 8 and it looks like an easy-to-use, fluid, and streamlined
approach to operating systems. It's about time.  |

 Utopian
visions of learning are tempting, if for no other reason than they absolve us
of accountability to create it right now, leading to nebulous romanticizing
about how powerful learning could be if we just did more of X and Y...or is
that not the case?  |

 The
results are in. And they're depressing. The current state of math textbooks
is downright terrifying but somehow not surprising. That's according to a new
report by ClassroomWindow.  |

 Gamification is
the application of game mechanics to a non-game entities--learning systems
for example. It is also extremely flexible, able to fit the needs to a
variety of environments. But this can also make it confusing to implement.
Here's how one teacher did it.  |
