Prism

The Program

Just as a prism reveals the colors that combine to make white light, Prism, a summer arts program from TAPIT/new works, offers students ages 10–12 an in-depth experience with key elements of the arts. Participants enjoy hands-on workshops in drama and stage movement, scriptwriting and digital photography taught by experienced artists/educators. At the end of the 2-week program, the students’ work is showcased in a fun and friendly youth-centered presentation combining their acting, writing and photography.
