CONTEMPORARY SCENE STUDY – This summer course aims to lay the foundation for an actor’s study of their craft as it relates to contemporary text. Actors will examine and explore a diverse range of contemporary plays and use scenes from them to build up a variety of tools and techniques necessary to the modern performer. Through preparing, rehearsing, performing and evaluating, actors will learn how to mine the text for given circumstances, objectives, action and events and use this work to create characters that undergo change.

CONTEMPORARY & SHAKESPEAREAN MONOLOGUES  – These courses are devoted to intensive monologue work. Monologues are studied, presented, critiqued, and re-presented leading to greater facility in the use of contemporary and classical language.

MUSICAL THEATRE PERFORMANCE – Approaching song as an acting piece. Actors work on songs first as monologues and then focus on song structure as a tool for interpretation of musical pieces. Special attention is also paid to using physical techniques to achieve a truthful performance.

THE ACTORS INSTRUMENT (ACTING TECHNIQUE I & II) – A study of kinetic and sensory exercises used to develop the actor’s instrument. The actor will build concentration and range and vividness of expression. Intensive training in relaxation compounded with accessing the actor’s memory through instructed use of the senses will cultivate the actor’s ability to portray various roles and situations.

JAZZ & TAP DANCE

STAGE COMBAT – Basic tumbling and unarmed combat for the working actor. Confidence and the perception of the actor’s self-image are strengthened through various physical exercises. Emphasis is placed on creating convincing images and a routine that can be repeated to create believable scenes that tell a story.

MASK – The utilization of neutral masks to develop freedom of expression in the actor. An emphasis is placed on exploring primal instinct and how it progresses to and is covered by modern behavior.

Landmark College Summer College Readiness Program  

Help your students successfully transition to college, academically and socially! 

Even the most high-achieving students often face unanticipated difficulties in their first semester of college, possibly putting them at risk for failure or struggle. Problems often arise not from a lack of academic abilities, but from the enormous jump in independence required in a college environment.

The Landmark College Summer College Readiness program is all about preparation—through practice and exposure—for that crucial first semester of college. It is also about understanding the changing role of a high school student to a college student.

Components that can help students achieve this include: 

• PEERS® Intensive Workshops – Run in collaboration with our Success Center in San Mateo, California, this online/in-person hybrid workshop provides students with skills to make and keep friends using the evidence-based Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®).

•  Rite of Passage: Transition to Adulthood – This new component of the Summer College Readiness Program utilizes experiential programming to help students understand and embrace their transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood. Students will gain interpersonal and practical skills while exploring their own values and designing a service project to bring change to a community they care about.

The Summer College Readiness Program runs July 14 – 27. Students must be admitted to a college other than Landmark College to participate.   

Learn more about the Summer College Readiness Program

Summer PEERS® Intensive Workshops (July 15 – 26) also occur independently from the Summer College Readiness Program, with participation in adolescent and young adult cohorts available.

University of Michigan 2024 Online Intro to Coding Summer Course

I am Professor Raj Rao in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan.   

I’m writing to tell you about an online Intro to Coding summer course we created for high school students to learn coding.

In the past 3 years we’ve had over 4000 students from 50 states and 25 countries take this course.

The course builds on principles of logic to show students how coding powers apps they use daily, such as Instagram filters and AI chatbots. 

These days, almost all STEM fields, not just Computer Science, use coding as a means to instruct the computer to "do more" cool stuff e.g., designing vaccines, programming robots and driverless cars, inventing apps to detect and diagnose diseases in humans, animals and plants and so on. 

Thus, we are looking for math and science-loving students who perhaps don't realize that coding is for everyone and not just for Computer Scientists. The students we are looking for:

+ enjoy the logic in math

+ love solving problems creatively and, 

+ are willing to reach out for help to our team of coaches when stuck - everyone gets stuck somewhere when learning something new!   

We are able to offer need-based financial aid to help students pursue the program. Details are in our application.

For further questions, please email joyofcoding@umich.edu.

This is our fourth year offering this course. Here’s an article about the course and its prior successes. 

Here is a note for why we feel this course is important and essential and does things differently than the many online resources. 

Some details about the course:

The Joy of Coding online course has been specially created by the University of Michigan Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for anyone who wants to experience first-hand the power and thrill of coding computers to do amazing things.

Course Dates: June 19 -  July 31, 2024 

Course Format: completely online, asynchronous, no scheduled lectures

Course Cost: $149 + tax, need-based financial aid available

Prerequisites: 

+ students must be 13 years or older 

+ No prior coding experience is required!

+ Have taken high school algebra

+ Have a desire to learn

+ Are able to commit 4 - 6 hours a week and chip away at the material daily 

Students will: 

+ Have weekly asynchronous coding lectures/assignments using an interactive textbook

+ Learn to code at their own pace with support from Michigan ECE faculty and students 

+ Have our commitment to help you get unstuck when learning to code  - everyone gets stuck somewhere, at some point!

+ Receive a certificate of accomplishment to bolster their college applications

 For priority consideration, please submit an application by May 31 on our website.
