This sequence explores the representation of apes in the film 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes', focusing on the transition from scientific subjects to sentient leaders. Students analyze the use of motion-capture technology and narrative techniques used to humanize non-human characters.

Une formation immersive de 12 heures destinée aux professeurs-documentalistes pour maîtriser les codes de la littérature adolescente actuelle et concevoir des stratégies de médiation innovantes au CDI.

This sequence explores how technology—from the electric guitar to digital software—transformed music from the mid-20th century to today, focusing on genre evolution, song structure, and production.

A comprehensive introduction to the orchestra and the Classical era for 3rd graders, covering instrument families, specific sections, key composers (Mozart and Beethoven), and the art of conducting.

A 5th-grade music history sequence exploring the development of Jazz and Blues, from African call-and-response roots to the birth of Rock n' Roll. Students investigate structural forms like the 12-bar blues, concepts like syncopation and improvisation, and the cultural resilience behind the music.

This sequence guides 5th-grade students through the evolution of Western Classical music from the Baroque period to the 20th century. Students will explore how societal shifts influenced orchestral size, musical texture, and form through active listening and analytical activities.

A graduate-level exploration of music history through the lenses of migration, diaspora, and cultural hybridity, moving beyond Western-centric narratives to examine how global movement shapes musical evolution.

A graduate-level exploration of how technological advancement (from notation to algorithms) acts as a primary driver of musical aesthetics and evolution. Students analyze the reciprocal relationship between material culture and musical expression using media theory and organology.

This 4th-grade music history sequence explores the evolution of American music from African roots to Jazz. Students investigate how historical context, community struggle, and cultural migration shaped genres like Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, and Jazz through active listening, writing, and performance.

A chronological journey through the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras of Western Art Music, focusing on critical listening and historical context.

A graduate-level studio sequence focused on the transition from technical exercises to a cohesive, professional body of work. Students develop a thematic series, tackle the challenges of large-scale execution, engage in rigorous formal critiques, and curate a final presentation.

A graduate-level exploration of the intersection between medium and meaning. Students innovate with traditional materials, exploring chemical interactions, substrate manipulation, and mixed-media synthesis to develop a unique 'mark-making' vocabulary where physical texture contributes to conceptual depth.

This advanced sequence for graduate students explores the deconstruction of classical composition through dynamic symmetry, edge tension, non-Euclidean perspective, and visual hierarchy. Students will move from rigid geometric analysis to 'anti-compositional' strategies to create contemporary, tension-filled imagery.

An intensive graduate-level investigation into the physics, psychology, and application of color in fine art, focusing on relativity, semiotics, and narrative.

This graduate-level sequence explores the intersection of labor law, fiscal strategy, safety protocols, and crisis management within professional theater production. Students develop the leadership skills necessary to navigate union environments and high-stakes technical environments.

An advanced technical theater sequence for graduate students exploring the intersection of light physics, human perception, and visual storytelling. Students move from the biological mechanics of the eye to high-level system integration and dramaturgy.

A comprehensive exploration of stage management for undergraduate students, covering organizational hierarchy, documentation, rehearsal management, and technical execution. Students transition from understanding the SM role to mastery of the prompt book and cue calling.

An undergraduate-level introduction to the technical systems of theater, focusing on the physics, hardware, and creative implementation of lighting and sound design. Students progress from fundamental science to professional drafting and real-time cue execution.

A comprehensive undergraduate-level sequence on the fundamentals of theatrical scenery construction and rigging. Students progress from safety certification to constructing flats and platforms, culminating in rigging mechanics and installation/strike protocols.

A comprehensive graduate-level course on the professional development of a new play, focusing on revision strategies, collaborative feedback, and industry-standard submission practices. Students transition from draft to a polished, professional-grade script and submission package.

An advanced playwriting sequence for graduate students focusing on the technical mechanics of dialogue. It treats dramatic text as musical notation, exploring how rhythm, syntax, and silence construct power dynamics and atmosphere.

An advanced playwriting module for graduate students focusing on non-linear, fragmented, and experimental dramatic structures. Students interrogate traditional narrative shapes and develop a comprehensive structural blueprint for a full-length experimental work.

A comprehensive graduate-level exploration of Documentary and Verbatim Theatre, covering ethical research, archival mining, speech editing, character synthesis, and theatrical staging. Students transition from researchers to dramatists, producing original documentary works based on real-world testimony and historical records.

An advanced playwriting sequence for graduate students focusing on the psychological architecture of dramatic characters, subtextual dialogue, and character-driven narrative structures. Students progress from deconstructing archetypes to writing a one-act draft grounded in behavioral truth and internal contradiction.

An advanced playwriting sequence for undergraduate students focusing on non-traditional structures, including non-linear time, verbatim theater, absurdism, meta-theatricality, and multimedia integration. Students will move from theoretical analysis of experimental playwrights to creating their own rule-breaking scripts.
