images from winter camp

Winter camp went so well this year, it was the first time we sold out and the kids (and faculty!) had the best week ever. Here's some pictures:

Our fantastic teaching staff!

Such a great project.

During the final performance, campers acted out a play they wrote about nature and the city, based on one of the thematic days. Above, the boys are being cranes.

Campers built all their props, like this miniature city.

Showing off our new volcano dance.

Jemima Wyman and Brooke Sauer led the camp this winter, can't wait for them to return this summer!

Myth & Infrastructures: Miwa Matreyek

Part of my work here at the Center includes exhibitions. I recently curated a great show with multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker Miwa Matreyek, who i went to school with at CalArts. Having her do a show with us really brought a new audience to the Center, and i can't wait to continue working with her. Anyhow, here's some excerpts from the piece she performed February 13th at the Center:
