Are you ready to take your content creation skills to the next level? This class, taught by Vato Tsikurishvili, will guide students through the development and creation process of a virtual movement piece.

Students who take this class will work on movement, dance, physical storytelling, and isolations. Using the skills that he honed while working on our Virtual Show Joy, Vato will help students develop an original movement piece from an initial idea to an edited and fully realized virtual short. With an emphasis on storytelling and movement, students will have the chance to pursue their interests, while being mentored by a master storyteller. The only limit is their own imagination. This class will culminate in a virtual event where students share their original videos with friends and families!
