Alexandra Furtak, Memorial HS, Elmwood Park 2014 Bergen County Teen Arts Festival Bergen County is honored to sponsor and host the 2014 Bergen County Teen Arts Festival. Now in its 39th year, this wonderful event gives a voice to our students by showcasing their extraordinary talents. The Teen Arts Festival continues to fuel our imagination, while providing the youth of Bergen County with the confidence to succeed in future endeavors. We are proud to have served nearly 125,000 students, teachers and administrators over the years and salute the artists who have enriched Bergen County with their vision. Kathleen A. Donovan Bergen County Executive A Message from B. Kaye Walter, Ph.D. President, Bergen Community College “Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.” Former First Lady Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson Welcome to Bergen Community College. What speaks to you? Is it the words in novels? Or the melodies of music? Perhaps it’s the rhythm of dance? No matter what segment of the arts speaks to you, today is an opportunity to embrace it. During today’s sessions, you’ll visit with industry professionals and teachers who will help inspire you and encourage you to learn. That’s why the College remains such an appropriate host for the Teen Arts Festival each year. The College is a place for discoveries; a place for learning; a place for inspiration. Each year, our faculty serve as mentors for approximately 16,000 students, helping direct young men and women like yourselves toward their goals. With that in mind, it is not only my hope that you enjoy the experience of the Teen Arts Festival, but also your time on our campus. I hope it provides you with a window into your future and inspires you to learn more about our school. Bergen has more than 140 academic degree and certificate programs that prepare students for transfer to some of the best four-year schools in the country – or for entry directly into a career. Again, welcome to our campus – I hope you find what speaks to you … and one of those things is Bergen Community College. E. Carol Messer Director, 2004-2014 Bergen County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs Twenty-six years ago, in 1988, former Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs (DCHA) Director Ruth Van Wagoner tapped Carol Messer as the DCHA’s newest full-time employee. Serving as its Arts Program Coordinator, she gained wide experience as Grants Administrator of Bergen’s $100,000+ arts re-grant program. She was also the editor of the Bergen Arts Connection, an experienced grant writer, worked on long-range planning, cultural assessments, arts roundtables, special projects, marketing and publicity, community cultural collaborations, and much, much more. When she was appointed the Division’s third director in 2004, succeeding Ann Romano, she expanded and applied her creative talents and abilities to the county’s history and preservation programs, and to managing eight county historic sites’ complicated restoration and preservation projects. A native Alabamian and youthful resident of Illinois, arts and culture have been a part of Carol’s life from the beginning. With a BFA in Fine Arts from Auburn University, she completed two years of MFA studies at the University of Kentucky, where she concentrated on sculpture and taught stone and metal plate lithography. Her lithograph series inspired by Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass was published by the Southern Literary Review in 1971. While teaching art history and fine arts at the college level, she completed an Arts Associate degree in Museum Studies from Vincennes University, IN. Before working for the Division, she served as an exhibition curator and educator at the Beaumont Art Museum, TX, the Museum of East Texas, Lufkin, and at the Bergen Museum of Art and Science. As a professional artist, Carol pursued drawing and sculpture for many years, exhibiting widely in the Midwest, and having her work exhibited and sold by several New York City galleries. With that background, there can be no doubt of Carol’s dedication to Bergen County’s Teen Arts Program. Some of Carol’s past endeavors include participating in and helping to establish community choruses and theatre, writing poetry, and lecturing about European and Asian ceramics. She is a passionate genealogist, writing the 200-year history of her family’s migration from colonial Virginia to Tennessee and Alabama. Two years ago she was able to travel to England to study the history and architecture of its cathedrals. For ten years as the DCHA’s Director, Carol has dedicated her intelligence, experience, creativity and more time than most people realize – regularly working weekends and evenings - nurturing the county’s arts, history and preservation community, and our local artists, actors, dancers, musicians, historians, preservationists, educators and students. She has vigorously represented and promoted Bergen County’s cultural community to her colleagues in other county cultural agencies and to N.J.’s State Arts Council and Historical Commission. Carol has what few have: a true and positive vision of a thriving cultural environment that we as a community can create right here in Bergen County in the 21st century. Carol – Thank you for your 26 years of dedication. Teen Arts Festival Mission and Thanks A celebration of the alliance of young people and the arts, the 2014 Teen Arts Festival is founded on the belief that the arts are an indispensable expression of self and an essential language. Through workshops in all the arts disciplines, the Festival strives to engage each student in a deeper level of artistry and professionalism. Through critiqued performances and exhibits, the Festival showcases the myriad and extraordinary talents of middle and high school students and their teachers. A prime benefit of the Festival is the opportunity it provides students to validate themselves as artists by spending a day in the company of professional artists who participate in creative fields at many different levels. Offering further enrichment, the Visual Arts Committee presents a refreshing symposium on creativity for teachers during the Festival. The Division applauds the outstanding artists, teachers, critiquers and moderators who lend their professional artistry to the festival by leading workshops, critiquing the performances and art exhibit, and maintaining a smooth flow of events at the performing sites. Without the spirited contributions of these remarkable people, the Festival would not be possible, nor would its lasting effect on our teenagers be so profound. We thank the many volunteers who donate their valuable time today at the festival. Their participation – giving necessary directions and keeping workshops and performance sites quiet and running on time – is instrumental to the reputation of the Bergen County Teen Arts Festival as an award-winning arts-in-education program. We hope that every volunteer will take some of their free time during the course of the day to enjoy the Festival by taking in a workshop, seeing a student performance, or viewing the outstanding art exhibit in the cafeteria of the Main Building. With over 3,500 students participating The Bergen County Teen Arts Festival is one of the largest, most comprehensive arts-in-education festivals for teenagers in the state of New Jersey. Through the interaction of artists, students, teachers, and volunteers, the Festival helps the Division achieve its goal of encouraging and strengthening the creative abilities of young people and increasing their access to the arts. Thank you all!

An entire wall invites you to create your own poem, add a line to an ongoing collective poem, or write a poem inspired by a poem you found on the wall that day. You can write a line, a stanza, or a whole poem. You can write a quote from a favorite poem as inspiration for other poets. You can even illustrate a poem that has been written on the wall. Be sure to sign your work with your name and the school you attend. Visit early in the day and return later to see what has been added and to read feedback on your work. We will provide the blank mural and magic markers. The possibilities are endless! Come leave your mark on this exciting collaborative poetic work of art! Help us create a truly collaborative wall of poetry. The Poet’s Voice – Open Microphone. Bring your writing and proclaim it to the universe! Not a Slam; not Improv! Get your good stuff published – out in the open to an audience of your peers. Read your own work or select something from other great poets. A poetry library will be available for you to choose from. Come and share your writing with an appreciative audience, or just sit and listen to support your friends. Poetry On The Line – Pick a poem and hang yours up for picking if you want to. Brazil’s Northeast poets hang their poems from clotheslines out in the open market to be taken down and read or to be taken away if you like them enough. Come and visit our poetry clothesline. Take away a poem you like; leave one of your own. Clothespins provided. Will be monitored for content. James O’Rourke, a poet, published in print and on TV and radio, is a Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation Teacher/Poet and an experienced reader. He believes passionately that poetry is a primarily vocal art which needs a public airing so that its sound can add to its sense. 10 Creative Writing Workshops *** WORDS-WORK Judy Pal Session I: 8:45AM - 9:35AM Session II: 10:30 AM – 11:20 AM Session III: 12:30 PM - 1:20 PM Room L147 MUSIC AS MUSE Virve Lane Session I: 9:45 AM - 10:35 AM Session II: 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM Session III: 12:45 PM - 1:35 PM Room: L142 Perhaps you are suffering from writer's block or maybe your lack of confidence has kept you from writing your first poem. To conquer whatever it is that is stifling you, this workshop could be your next portal into the writer's universe. Once you realize that you are surrounded by the words of poetry in your everyday life and that it is up to you to lay hold of and rearrange them according to your muse, happily, you end up mining for gold in the recesses of your imagination. This "hands on" experience invites you to interact with paper words that you have chosen randomly, rearranged repeatedly, and glued carefully to your "canvas." As a reward, your Words-Work can provide the framework for your next story or it might even inspire you to tap into your creative core. But hold on...you could end up surprising yourself with your first poem too! From Santana to Beethovan, music inspires us, entangling our senses in complex reactionary patterns. Stream of consciousness writing clears the brain of thoughts which hinder a smooth flow of creativity. This workshop relies on your interpretation of different pieces of music as a springhead to a polished piece of prose or simply a vivid reaction. Come, listen and write! The artist within will feel joy. Virve Lane received her B.A. in English Education from Rutgers College and her MA in English and Comparative Literatures from Montclair University. A chapter of her master’s thesis, “Otto Rank’s Theories of Creativity Applied to the Lives of Three Artists” was published in “Art and Artist“ Magazine. Virve is an English Professor at Brookdale and Middlesex Community Colleges. She also teaches creative writing and, thus, is in tune with methods which inspire students to explore and expand their creative potentials. Judith Pal taught English and French in Bergen County for over 30 years and was honored as the 2007 Teacher of the Year in her school. She credits her many European travel experiences and her participation in the Dodge Foundation Spring and Fountain and the ATI workshops for enriching her career and helping to foster an appreciation of language in her students. She believes that the true meaning of poetry and creative prose extends beyond the conspicuous text into the blank spaces between the lines where the mind's eye can discern the underlying symbolic essence of the work. Virve has travelled extensively to four continents and has skydived. This workshop has been generously sponsored by Project IMPACT – An Arts In Education Resource www.ProjectImpact.org 11 Creative Writing Workshop *** Music Workshop *** CREATING GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS Ed Catto Session I: 9:15AM - 10:05AM Session II: 10:45 AM – 11:35 AM Session III: 12:00 PM - 12:50 PM Room L148 THE SPONTANEOUS COMPOSITION JAM SESSION Ray Ippolito 10:00 AM-1:30 PM Continuous Showmobile Year after year, this workshop draws over 1000 students to participate or just kick back and enjoy the sounds being created on stage under the direction of multi-talented Ray Ippolito. Drummers, horn, guitar and string players, rappers and singers alike share their talents and energy in this impromptu jam session. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of creating comics and graphic novels, including, but not limited to: storytelling, developing sequential artwork and communicating effectively. Student will also review industry techniques, shortcuts and secrets. After a brief lecture and review, every student will have the opportunity to create a four-panel comic strip during the workshop. The three-step process employed will be (1) outlining an idea, (2) developing a rough outline version and (3) creating a finished comic strip. These short-form graphic novels can then be used by students as a starting point to explore the development of a full-blown graphic novel on their own (subsequent to the workshop). Due to the overwhelming turnout of bands over the years, we encourage all of you who wish to show what you and/or your band are made of by opening this “jam session” to preexisting groups of all styles: Metal, R&B, Rock, Latin, Hip-Hop, etc. You will be given the opportunity to play no more than 2 songs (max time 10 minutes) and will be required to bring any additional amplifiers/equipment your band will need. There will be a band sign up at the stage the day of the festival and it will be on a limited first come, first serve basis, so be sure to sign up early.

It is intended to be an introductory session with emphasis on workflow - one of the most important aspects of music production. It will include a brief overview of club music beats and tempos and will focus on a particular track beginning with the selection and processing of the samples and instruments, building a beat, and concluding with the organization of the track structure. Highly recommended for those interested in EDM in general and particularly in crunk, dubstep, glitchhop, moombahton, trap, West Coast bass, etc. This workshop is a simple yet completely unreasonable approach to songwriting. It gives the participant the opportunity to cause a breakthrough in their ability to produce a volume of work so that they will be able to see themselves as a songwriter able to create on command. So often we as songwriters have this inner voice that says "I'm an artist and I create when I am inspired" How about the voice saying " I am an artist and I create on command, and be able to flex that muscle when its needed. We will explore the participants’ inner conversation they have about who they say they are as a songwriter and cause a breakthrough so that they produce a volume of work. Joro-Boro is a producer and DJ who promotes entoteck, glitch-folk and post-national bass. He is primarily interested in musical genres that circuit bend the archaic and the futuristic and that short circuit cultural flows. This aesthetic informs his work resulting in dirty hybrids of local musics: crunk cumbia, capoeira moombahcore, Balkan brass juke, etc. The best comes out when I am allowing creative energy to flow through me, and not get in its way. We will explore the things that get in the way of it be a consistent unstoppable flowing river of abundant creative energy.

Yes, the HARLEM SHAKE. Dub Step is a new underground movement within the electro-music industry. Some ingredients include Hip Hop, Trip Hop, EDM, and rock & roll. In this workshop, students will learn a dance sequence involving isolations, pop and locking, and gliding. The students will also focus on the delivery and feeling that goes behind the track. By the end of the course, the students will have a better understanding of the Dub-Step movement and a brand new dance to show off to their friends. The objective is to get as much student participation as possible from each individual school so they shine and win the "SPOTLIGHT" during the short Flash Mob/ Harlem Shake segment. Whether you have two participants or twenty, each school is asked to put together a 15 second Harlem Shake routine that represents their pride, creativity, and support for their school. These 15 second snippets will be put together by Master choreographer Ryan Holder into a synchronized 2 minute Flash mob routine. The program begins with a short warm up led by the teacher, as the students listen to the song they are about to work with. In the program, the students will learn a dance sequence to the sounds of Dub-Step. The best school would take advantage of this "15 sec wild form of expression" by using whatever their creative minds can imagine (that is also school appropriate)! We've all seen these videos of the Harlem Shake on the news or on our computers via YouTube, so familiarizing yourself with this trend should be easy and even fun. Ryan Holder, professional director/choreographer will be returning this year for another stellar fun dubstep workshop. Ryan has been in the music and entertainment industries for over 5 years and has won several awards including the "young choreographers award" in 2008. At his young age, his talents have enabled him to work with such names as Alan Cummung, Liza Minnelli, Savion Glover, Ludacris, B.O.B, and tour the world. Recently working as choreographer, artist development coach, and tour manager Ryan is in the process of developing his next new professional "triple threat" piece and is searching for all kinds of talent to fill his entertainment company, W.A.R.P'D Entertainment. He will also be choreographing this year’s flash mob/Harlem shake routine for "Rep' Your School". We will have a mass rehearsal so each school knows where and when to "bust their moves". The biggest, brightest, most creative school, will win the "SPOTLIGHT" slot and have a special segment dedicated to them. Lastly, we go viral with our Harlem Shake dance. Schools can vote online for who they thought was the best, but the true fun will be seeing those video views sky rocket to the MILLIONS!!! How many of you out there are part of an international YouTube trend? Now you will have that awesome chance. 16 Dance Workshops *** DANCE-HIP HOP Shadae Martin MarquisElite Performing Arts Group Session I: 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM Session II: 10:15 AM - 11:05 AM Session III: 11:30 AM - 12:20 PM Room: S246 (Each session limited to 35 participants) DANCE – JAZZ PROGRESSIONS ACROSS THE FLOOR Adrienne Logan Session I: 8:45 AM – 9:35 AM Session II: 10:10 AM -11:00 AM Session III: 12:40 PM – 1:30 PM Room: C106 (Reh.
