S.T.A.R. is for...
writers and actors... producers and directors... English and Communications majors... and for all students who want to discover their own creativity...
S.T.A.R. offers curricula at both the high school and the college levels, for a full semester or independent study program, and takes participants through each step of creating their own drama for television or for radio. A cross-curricular program, students become a production team, learning all creative and technical aspects of production. Storylines are original creations of the students, but must be based on reality and have a foundation of solid research. Students receive specific guidelines, classroom instruction, and detailed homework assignments in a range of topics including how to research their topics, how to structure stories, how to create characters and dialogue, how to perform on-mike or on-camera, how to create sound effects, how to edit, and how to blend performances into a final mix. Students must also work within the class - or collaborate with students from other departments - to create music, art work, press releases, and every other aspect of a complete production.
