A Printmaker’s Primer: Handmade Prints with Meshell Melvin *

First Choice
Second Choice
Third Choice

Printmaking is a very old process... Ancient in fact! Meshell will introduce students to the incredible world of colourful inks and printing techniques that have been refined over the last two thousand years! This class is a gallop through the basics of printmaking: from the quick impressions of the monoprint to the intricacies of the linocut, and all the potatoes in between. Students will be encouraged to develop their image making throughout their explorations with different printmaking techniques. Be warned: this workshop will be playful, messy (not too messy…), and COLOURFUL!

Act Your Mind: Theatre Creation & Performing Arts with Geneviève Paré *

First Choice
Second Choice
Third Choice

Let it out! There's 101 ways to express yourself, and this workshop is all about what YOU want to say. Join Geneviève Paré for an awesome adventure into the world of performing arts - no experience necessary! Students will explore a range of techniques, exercises, and theatre games, resulting in the creation of a short solo or two-person performance by the end of the week. Get ready to create, collaborate, and perform! Participants will learn stage presence, improv, storyboarding, vocal expression, verbal and non-verbal story-telling and a whole lot more! Rumour has it that Gen even has experience in stunt wrestling and stage combat fighting!

Tell It Like It Is: Video Journalism & Documentary Filmmaking with Charlotte Morritt-Jacobs *

First Choice
Second Choice
Third Choice

Join Charlotte, a video journalist with Aboriginal People’s Television Network (APTN) for four days of filmmaking - script-writing, directing, interviewing, shooting, editing and more! Participants will master all it takes to bring an idea to the big screen, working collaboratively to create one group documentary on an important topic of their choice. Not only will the film be shown at the YAE Student Showcase on the Thursday evening of the program, it will also be screened at the Dawson City International Short Film Festival in April!
