Apartment Hunting
Let me just start off by saying, we have great people working in student affairs! Honestly, if you are beginning to search for an apartment or other off-campus housing, definitely check out the off-campus housing site (http://calarts.edu/campus/residential-life/off-campus-housing) and then give them a call. I really wish I had talked to them before I moved into [...]
Summer Work
It’s summer! Amanda (a fellow CalArtian) and I have literally been at school this entire time. I did manage to jet home over the 4th of July but I’ve mostly been working as an office assistant for Advancement at school. Amanda has been working in the registrar’s office and both of us have been working [...]
On the Road at the Hammer
A few weeks ago, I visited the Hammer Museum specifically to see the new show “Ed Ruscha: On The Road.” This show is a result of Ruscha working with the text of Jack Kerouac’s famous 1957 novel (which he first read as a student at the Chouinard Art Institute – one of CalArts’ precursors), combining [...]
Happenings
It’s always a good day when taking 250 high school students to two major Los Angeles museums goes off without a hitch. The CAPSA program visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) for a day full of numerous exhibitions, a massive Allan Kaprow Happening, and lines [...]

CAP’s summer program expanded this year to include classes in Photography and Theater in addition to our founding classes of Animation, Creative Writing, [...]

Make Music Pasadena is an all ages festival and free with hundreds of bands and performers that are scheduled to a stage. There was the Indie, Rock, Jazz and World Music Stage. Some [...]
Free Mondays at the MOCA
One of my favorite artists will be having their own instillation of art at the MOCA this summer and from what I have heard, it is an amazing art gallery. Banksy, the British graffiti artists, is sponsoring free admission into the MOCA every Monday night during the “Art in the Streets” session until August. This [...]
Kibbutz Dance Intensive
Today was one of the many days I have been dancing for six hours straight in the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Intensive. They came all the way from Israel to give classes and teach rep. from their shows. I have never been so sore and in so many different places. This is the best intensive I [...]
Nugent Dance Intensive
A few days after school let out Stephanie Nugent, a dance teacher at Calarts held a two week intensive based in contemporary technique and somatic concepts. Having her as a teacher for most of the year I can say that her class has helped me immensely with technique, performance and improvisation. I can hold to [...]
