[Englishstudents] Puppet theater course in Drama
by English 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Professor Meghan Healey is offering an exciting course in the Department of Drama, Theater, and Dance that may appeal to you, our English Majors. See details below, and please contact Professor Healey if you have any questions. I am very excited to announce that PUPPET THEATER WORKSHOP is BACK! This course will be offered on Monday afternoons in the Spring 2019 semester from 1:40-4:30. The course appears on the schedule as DRAMA 242: PUPPET WORKSHOP. This is an amazing class that involves creating your own original puppetry for existing texts, as well as creating original text for your own new puppet plays. It's a fantastic class for people who love performance and/or visual theater. This year's class will focus on found object puppetry. While no previous experience in puppetry is necessary, this is a permission only class. I am looking for actors, writers, designers, comedians, musicians, artists, and people who have a passion to try something new and be challenged. If you want to be considered for this workshop, please send me an email at meghan.healey(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:meghan.healey@qc.cuny.edu> with a short statement about your name, your major, your goals for taking this class, and any relevant course work or other skills or work you think you can bring to the class. I do have a limit of 15 students, so please make sure you contact me as soon as possible if you wish to be considered. Meghan E.

by English 01 May '18

01 May '18

I am writing to you on behalf of the QC French and Francophone club to inform you of an event called Making Your Degree a Career, and to ask you if you could reach out to your students via email and in the classroom. It will be held on Wednesday, May 2nd from 12:15-1:15 in Powdermaker Hall: Room 153. The purpose of the event is to bring together students who study languages, literature and the arts to realize the importance of their degree and the doors that it could open for them. The main speaker is Nadia Shammas, a Brooklyn College graduate who will talk about how she raised money to fund her career, bringing together artists to form a graphic novel focused on health issues. Moreover, other speakers will discuss how their internships kickstarted their careers, and how they used their degree to form a career. Current QC students will talk about their internships with QC’s Tech Incubator, a group on campus that helps early stage student ventures build successful technology companies. Our flyer is attached below. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. All the best, Leah Herzberg Secretary of the French Club [cid:AB26687F-8969-4851-BBA7-AF69A7EDA4AC]
