Students should bring long (80 inch) twin bed size flat and fitted sheets, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, and their own towels. The residence hall building has air conditioning and Internet access with an Ethernet cable.
NYU Public Safety Services officers are
on duty 24 hours a day. Specially assigned Resident Assistants (R.A.)
monitor discipline, including enforcing a curfew for students in this
program, and help students as they adjust to living away from home.
Because
our standards for achievement are high, we accept highly motivated
students who will enjoy the classes as well as the cultural activities.
It is, therefore, important to know that failure to comply with
regulations will be grounds for immediate dismissal from the program.
Parents and/or guardians will be contacted as soon as any
unsatisfactory behavior is recognized.

WORKSHOP EXPERIENCES
Workshop 1: Multimedia & Technology Workshop
This workshop systematically explores web authoring and developing media for use in performance. Students will learn basic principles of html and then explore web authoring applications. Each student will maintain a website to display their assignments. Students will learn: image processing, animated images, sound file management, digital audio recording and editing, video and movie processing, and DVD production. Elements of live performance multimedia production will be introduced for application in the evening workshop.
Workshop 2: Workshop for Dancers
This course is a three-week modern dance technique class that incorporates floorwork, traveling combinations, improvisation, and composition studies. Students will understand the importance of proper alignment, breath support, flow and will increase their ability to move with passion. This workshop will be an eclectic hybrid that incorporates concepts from Bartenieff fundamentals, Graham and Limon techniques, release technique, and ballet. Students will be challenged to find new ways of moving, to expand their movement potential, and to develop their unique style within the framework of the class.
Workshop 3: Workshop for Musicians (Composers and Performers)
Musicians and composers will focus on integrative and collaborative techniques, creating short works that make use of class resources, while projecting possibilities for enhancement and extension through technological applications. Performers will focus on contemporary literature, including improvisation and their individual level of development. Recording of work and discussion of outcomes will be a regular feature of each session.
Workshop 4: Workshop for Visual Elements
This workshop is for technological, visual and video developers who will explore image and video applications, live and processed, including technological applications suitable for mixed media, intermedia, and multimedia.
Workshop 5: Workshop for All Participants
Applications of techniques from the four workshops. Collaborative teams are formed and students collaborate to develop multimedia works to be presented in the final performance.
