Anime: IKŌ!
You know it, love it, you can’t get enough of it - and neither can we. Whether it’s Speed Racer or Dragon Ball, Naruto, or My Hero Academia, we are OBSESSED. The only thing better than watching anime the entire week of February break would be drawing our own anime characters and adventures. Grab your pens, and let’s ikō!
Writing Dialogue
For four weeks this winter join original rockstar teaching artist, Kate Reuther, to embark on the writer’s journey toward authentic and impactful dialogue. Together, as a group of motivated and curious writers, we’ll draw inspiration from fiction and screenplays, and fine-tune this skill that can make or break your next short story, novel, or screenplay.
