Movie Star Masterclass Free

[Breanna Mangels]

Aspart of a new initiative to commemorate Comic-Con at UC San Diego, the university will host Star Trek actors and writers George Takei and John Cho, and open their renowned and exclusive Clarion Science Fiction Writing Workshop to the a public via a one-day masterclass.

The university will also offer campus housing during Comic-Con for all UC affiliates and alumni, any current UC/CSU/community college students and participants in the masterclass. This is significant given that Comic-Con week is a notoriously challenging time to secure a hotel stay.

"What we've been really looking at over the last year or so is that identity at the intersection of those two things. So where does science and art intersect? That really is a sweet spot on our campus," said Colleen Kollar Smith, executive director of UCSD's Campus Performances and Events Office. "What we imagine on the page today becomes reality in our labs tomorrow, and what we create in the lab today becomes fuel for tomorrow's stories."

UCSD is calling their Comic-Con-adjacent programming "The Science of Story." It will be centered around the pre-con masterclass offered by the folks responsible for the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Workshop.

The Clarion workshop was launched in 1968, and has been at UC San Diego since 2007. It's an intensive program with a small class of accepted students (18 this year) writing and workshopping a story a week for six weeks. It attracts top science fiction and fantasy writers, both as students and faculty.

Notable prior faculty include Ursula K. Le Guin, George R. R. Martin, Kim Stanley Robinson, Neil Gaiman and Kelly Link. Alumni include Octavia Butler, Ted Chiang, Carmen Maria Machado and Cory Doctorow.

"It's just really an incredible legacy, the premier place to be studying this kind of writing" said Jaclyn Jemc, professor of literature at UC San Diego and the current director of the Clarion program.

This will be the first year that the public can gain access to Clarion through a special masterclass on Tuesday, July 23. It's a full day of instruction and keynotes about the fundamentals of speculative fiction, and includes lunch and dinner.

Instructors and teaching artists include comic book writer Alyssa Wong ("Star Wars: The High Republic"); fiction writer and poet Isabel Yap ("Never Have I Ever"); O. Henry Prize winner 'Pemi Aguda ("GhostRoots"); novelist and former physicist Emet North ("In Universes"); and special guest, writer Nalo Hopkinson.

"I'm hopeful that more people from the area, and also people who are traveling just to visit for the Comic-Con, that they might see this as a way to sort of begin their Comic-Con experience, and also to allow themselves to engage in their own storytelling urges before they sort of dive into the Comic-Con experience, where, you know, you're sort of bombarded with all these other people's stories," Jemc said.

"A Tale of Two Sulus: An Evening with George Takei and John Cho" is Wednesday, July 24 at Epstein Family Amphitheater on campus. The following night, the San Diego Symphony will live score a screening of "Star Trek Beyond (2009)."

"'Star Trek' holds up," said Kollar Smith. "You can go back and look at the previous versions of 'Star Trek' and be impressed with how forward-thinking it was. I think we as humans never stop thinking about what could be, and how we can be better. And 'Star Trek' itself takes big questions and starts to break them down episode-by-episode, in a way that is tangible, in a way that helps us approach those questions. Is there life out there? From that to also: How can we be good neighbors to each other, how can we talk past cultural differences?"

In addition to their Comic-Con-inspired programming on campus, the university is offering a set of on-campus housing packages during the Comic-Con week. UCSD hopes the dorms will be a reasonable housing solution, especially for young people, given that the hotel landscape during Comic-Con can be complicated and nearly impossible to navigate.

"I don't think much has changed in terms of the fact that Comic-Con tends to have multiple young people sharing floors and couches, and certainly we wanted to be able to offer a housing option that was reasonable. They can make campus home base," Kollar Smith said. "It is, of course, dorms, but we have beautiful dorms."

Pricing for the "Enterprise" is $640, and includes four nights in a single-occupancy room with shared common spaces; a five-day transit pass; free breakfast; and access to downtown Park & Market events.

UCSD is situated on the trolley's Blue Line, which runs directly through downtown, with stops at the 12th and Imperial station near the Convention Center as well as at Park & Market and elsewhere downtown.

For the general public, the "Starfleet" centers on enrollment in the Clarion masterclass, "A Tale of Two Sulus," the live scored concert with the San Diego Symphony, a "Jaws" screening, a cocktail reception and access to Park & Market events downtown. A six-day trolley pass is included. The Starfleet package is $1,200 for a five-night stay in a single room with shared common spaces and free breakfast. No UC or college affiliation is required.

These fabulous partners are thankful for the sacrifices you and your families make. Their support extends well past this page, but here's a small token of appreciation exclusively for Blue Star Families members.

"Just wanted to let you know that the subscription to masterclass you offered at the beginning of the year is absolutely my favorite. As stay at home mom, hungry for knowledge, I love exploring and learning more in the areas of my interest. It seriously keeps me sane."

"Thanks to Thrive Market, I no longer have to do the dreaded store-to-store search to find the best selection of gluten-free items after each move. I love that my free membership saves me time AND money!"

"Being a busy military spouse, I was finding it extremely hard to sit still and take care of myself. I saw Blue Star Families members could get a free Headspace membership, so I joined to get one. I use the Headspace app regularly now; it helps me unwind and take care of myself. Beyond that, I have gotten so much more as a member, I finally have a community I can relate to."

The Heat had to play two additional games even to make it to the playoffs. Then after star player (and potential MVP candidate), Giannis Antetokounmpo went down with an injury in Game 1, the Heat took advantage.

In true Giannis fashion, he was disappointed, and upset, but still humble in defeat. He was still respectful to the reporter and complimentary to the work of the Heat, particularly Jimmy Butler (HIMmy Butler!)

For most of last year I was focused on creating and developing my Knit Stars 6 Masterclass, Think Like An Artist. This class distils my creative practice and experience into one exuberant project that is both a celebration of women artists, and a masterclass in translating patterns, colours and sounds into stranded colourwork design. I called the project Think Like An Artist because all the way through the video class and extensive accompanying handout, the focus lies on exploring diverse creative practices and applying them in our knitting.

To create Think Like An Artist, I first surveyed my mailing list for ideas for what you might like me to teach at Knit Stars. After receiving the most amazing and helpful ideas (thank you) I designed my class with a view to addressing the most commonly requested topics:

Integral to my work on Knit Stars were the supportive relationships I had with my yarn partner for the project, John Arbon Textiles; the amazing Knit Stars team; and my fantastic fellow Knit Star, Jeanette Sloan. Jeanette oversaw the video shoot for my class, ensuring that the way I was explaining things made sense and was technically on-point. She also brought friendship, joy and support to my work, as well as creating her own incredibly inspiring and thoroughly recommended masterclass for Season 6: Beaded Colourwork.

Thank you, Jeanette!

Meanwhile, my friends at John Arbon Textiles created a mountain of mini-skeins so that we could offer Knit Stars Masterclass owners exclusive kits in three different colourways with which to make this project.

Dance, theatre, and vocal music majors at Performing Arts, Vine Street Campus, participated in a masterclass with James T. Lane earlier this week. James, who is currently performing "Chicago" on Broadway, is a South Philadelphia native and started his career in Philly before heading to Broadway. Students went to New York to see James perform on Broadway the weekend before the masterclass, and had the opportunity to meet him after the show. This was not only a fantastic educational opportunity for our students, but also a truly inspiring experience. James was gracious enough to spend time after the class sitting with students and answering their questions about how he made it to Broadway and what advice he could offer them about a career as a performer. View news clips and photos of James and the students in this post.
