Changing lives through the
transformative power of art.

THE SUMMER PROGRAM

The summer tradition that began in 1950 to
bring the best artists to teach under the pines
continues today. Intensive hands-on workshops
in music, dance, theater, visual arts, writing,
filmmaking and Native arts are offered to

The campus is located at 5377-feet elevation
in the Strawberry Valley on the western slopes
of the San Jacinto Mountains. The 205-acre
campus is a naturally beautiful setting with
clean air, alpine forests, mountains and
meadows. This tranquil site, remote from urban
distractions, affords students a unique learning
environment.

DIRECTOR’S WELCOME
Greetings from
the mountaintop!
Idyllwild in the summer is a magical place –
cool pine forests and rugged stone outcrops,
sun-drenched days and gorgeous pink sunsets.
Idyllwild calls out to artists and musicians of all
kinds, sparking the creative spirit.
Inspired by this special place, Idyllwild Arts
Summer Programs offers you myriad choices to
pursue your artistic dreams. We have planned
fun-filled and enriching days filled with music,
drama, filming, writing, painting, drawing,
dancing, and creating art of all kinds. Imagine
the joy of plunging your hands into wet clay
for the first time, sword-fighting across a stage
bringing Shakespeare’s words to life, or making
music under dark night skies studded with
stars, undiluted by the lights of the city.
Can you think of a better way to spend
your summer than chasing your dreams? I
encourage you to read through our course
offerings and imagine how good your summer
can be, improving your skills or exploring a
new passion.
Our Summer Programs fill quickly, so don’t wait
too long. Fill out your application and return it
to reserve your space. Not sure what you’d like
to do? We would be happy to help you find the
perfect workshop. Call us with any questions at
(951) 468-7265 or summer@idyllwildarts.org.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the 2016
Summer Program! Sign up today!

Summer Theater Intensive:
Creating The Play
July 24–August 13 Course # YYTH Ø4-Ø6
Three-week session
Programs of Study and Performance
A three-week intensive in which, through
text analysis, voice and movement classes,
and improvisation, you will devise a new play
with your fellow students. Director Alec Volz
and playwright Diana Grisanti will facilitate
generative exercises, and will use the results
to create a written text specifically for your
company of actors. Then, as a group, you will
create the performance. This play is sure to be
as weird, bold, complicated, frightening, and
fun as the people in the rehearsal room!
Youth Arts Center
To prepare, you will read, dissect, and
discuss plays by contemporary playwrights—
playwrights who currently are expanding and
exploding. You will analyze texts on both a
structural level (How is this play built?) and a
sociopolitical one (What does this play have to
say about the world we live in?). The syllabus
will include works by exciting theatre makers,
including Rinne Groff, Victoria Stewart, Kimber
Lee, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Dan Dietz,
Kristoffer Diaz, and more.
You will also have classes in technical theater,
in which you will help create the set for your
show. You will learn how this creation process
is intimately tied to creating the text of the
piece. You will start every day with voice and
movement classes including yoga. In the third
week, you will have a monologue workshop
where you will receive two appropriate
monologues and individual and group coaching.
Devised Performance
Devising, as a practice, is a way of creating a
play that does not begin with an individual
writer’s script, but rather collaboratively
assembling content by a company of artists.
Methods for devising a play are endless; they
can grow out of improvisation, dance, design,
music, and architecture... any process that suits
the work being created.

Drawing and Painting
Session I
July 3-16 Course # YYPD Ø1-Ø2
Two-week session
This class is designed to provide instruction
in the fundamental approach, techniques, and
concepts of drawing and painting. Drawing
will be taught almost exclusively using the
human figure as a means of investigating line,
contour, negative space, volume, light and
composition using a wide array of media.
Concurrently, you will focus in painting on
the mechanics of working in oil paint with use
of the human figure, landscape, still life, and
photographic imagery as subject matter. You
will complete at least three to six paintings.
This class will investigate various ideas and
considerations regarding art in both historical
and contemporary terms. Additionally, the
studio will be open during evening hours so
you may work on projects outside of class. The
session will culminate in an exhibition.
Materials: Students should bring two Bristol
vellum pads (24” x 18”); one newsprint pad
(24” x 18”); and optionally any paint brushes to

drawing will be done in observation of a live
model to investigate aspects of light, volume,
composition, and line quality. Painting in this
class will also be taught primarily with the
use of oil paint. Consider Sessions I and II to
be interchangeable but for a different set of
instructors so that continuing students may
benefit from an additional point of view. The
session will culminate in an exhibition.
Materials: Students should bring two Bristol
vellum pads (24” x 18”); two newsprint pads
(24” x 18”); and optionally any paint brushes to

Session III July 31–August 13
Expand your awareness of your craft as a
storyteller. “To make it memorable” is both the
goal of each narrator in a story and the yearning
of the writer who chooses the words. Savor
the creative use of language and explore your
insatiable desire to learn more about how to
make your stories convincing. You will write or
substantially revise stories or chapters of longer
projects. When you sign up, you acknowledge
that you are capable of producing at least 500
words a day of writing on your own initiative.
Each two-week workshop will meet a minimum
of five hours per day, Monday through Friday,
with a shorter meeting on Saturday. You can
schedule brief individual conferences with the
instructor following the afternoon workshop.
In morning and afternoon classes you will
discuss the writing your class has produced.
The tone of this discussion will always grow out
of a respect for the effort required to produce
well-written imaginative stories. The emphasis
in this workshop is on producing as many drafts
of new work as possible.
Howard Nemerov said, “Poetry is a means of
seeing invisible things and saying unspeakable
things about them.” This workshop (for
beginning and advanced young writers) will
explore the magical language of poetry, its
history and future, and even challenge ideas
about its role in modern communication.
Examine some older voices and discover a few
new ones, including your own! Generate new
work, learn professional tools for editing and
publication, and cultivate a live performance.
No previous experience is needed.
The class will meet five hours a day, six days a
week for writing, reading, discussion, games,
field trips and a few surprises. You will produce
an anthology of new writing with your fellow
students and participate in a live reading.
Bring notebooks, writing instruments and a
few examples of poetry you like. You’ll also
have plenty of access to computers, reference
material, and dreams.

that purpose. Awards are based on:

• Music students who achieve Regional, AllState and National Honor status qualify for
an automatic $1,200 scholarship.

Youth two-week course. In rare circumstances,
a larger award may be granted to students with
exceptional financial need.
