The Hochstein School

If you’re curious about how comic books or manga are made, or if you have a story that you want to tell, or even if you just enjoy drawing, then this camp is for you. Director and critically-acclaimed writer/artist Dave Chisholm will discuss the many topics related to this discipline including story structure, script writing, character design–and, of course, there will be LOTS of time dedicated to drawing comics! Students are expected to bring a sketchbook or tablet as well as favored drawing utensils. Please no liquid media (watercolors, acrylic paint, inkpots, etc.)

Step right up! You are invited to join our Welcome to the Circus camp—an imaginative week inspired by the magic, color, and excitement of the Big Top, featuring teaching artists from PUSH Physical Theatre! Campers will explore their creativity through hands-on projects and playful movement, all while discovering what makes the circus such a dazzling place. Campers will share their activities in a performance and art exhibit on Friday, July 17 at 11:15 am.

Grab your flute and get ready for some fun! This collaborative offering with the Rochester Flute Association offers students the opportunity to focus on making music with fellow flutists through group lessons, workshops, and flute ensembles. While making music in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, students will increase their knowledge of tone production, rhythm, technique, and ensemble playing. Camp will conclude with a performance on Friday, July 24 at 2:30 pm.
