In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of observing the night sky with a telescope. This course will teach how to find the basic constellations and how to use both manual and computerized telescopes to point at celestial objects in the night sky. While there will be some classroom time to teach fundamental concepts, the vast majority of the class will consist of practical, hands-on time with telescopes at Stickney Observatory.

The course is designed for students with no prior string instrument experience. Admission is on a first come, first served basis. Classes will be one-on-one, individual lessons.

Daily practice of 10 to 15 minutes is expected, in order for students to become familiar and comfortable with the basic mechanics of playing the viola.

Experience with reading music, playing piano, singing or any other instrument prior to taking this course is not a pre-requisite, but helpful.

Studio Practice is designed to offer each student a rigorous and immersive dance study experience. A deep-dive into practices of critical physicality, students will be supported in making direct connections across an abundance of dance forms that rearrange and blur the boundaries between traditional and emerging techniques. Studio Practice courses focus on the relationships between curiosity, desire, strength, effort, force, and presence, all while moving within the lineages and histories that inform the ways in which we create and encounter our dancing futures.
