Sgraffito, which originates from the Italian word for scratch, is an accent technique used in ceramics to create a decorative design on ceramic work. A layer of color underglaze is added to the piece, and simple carving tools are used to scratch through the color to the contrasting clay body below to allow the pattern to stand out.

Each student will use a mold to create a plate or platter. While the work is drying, students will be shown examples to help inspire creativity. Feel free to -bring images or patterns from home that inspire you.

Objective: Skill Development, Creativity Enhancement

Outcome: Inspiration and Creativity, Development of Personal Style

Ben will lead a workshop that explores the qualities of curvature in the body. We will engage in postural explorations to notice how different postures feel in the body, both through action and witness. We will explore helical dynamics within our bodies. Leaning into the three dimensionality of a helix. How a pathway of this shape allows for the body to quickly exchange between vulnerability and protection. Often coexisting in both. We will discuss vulnerability and the power of the witness. In this workshop we will explore through movement, somatization, witness, writing, and dialogue.

The apprentice artists of the Soo Opera theater present Viardot's opera "Cendrillon", composed in 1904 and based on the story of "Cinderella". This 70-minute production will feature a live orchestra, original sets, and a cast of talented young college vocal students.

Pauline Viardot (1821-1910) enjoyed a successful career as a mezzo-soprano, touring the major European opera houses and inspiring the greatest composers of the era to dedicate works for her voice. Not only a talented performer, she also began composing her own works at a young age. While many of her pieces were meant for private performance, to develop the skills of her vocal students, they nevertheless attracted the praise of the musical establishment. Her teacher and mentor Franz Liszt even declared her "a woman composer of genius."

The Soo Opera (Sault Ste. Marie, MI) has been presenting summer opera since its establishment in 2007. The program brings together experienced performers and students of opera for a summer residency of learning and music making.

Tickets can be purchased online at the Opera House website or in-person at the box office, and are free for students.
