Presenting ‘Flip’ from Puppet Theater TV

08.26.10

Like a true television production team, the Puppet Theater TV Crew spent a fast paced two weeks writing scripts, building puppets, props and sets, designing costumes, recording dialogue and sound effects, puppeteering, acting, and filming what has become a ground breaking CMA first: “Flip”, a live action short. Unlike the stop motion animations that have come before, students were faced with the technical and physical challenges of creating something filmed in real time. The group experienced both shooting in our studio and on site at Governor’s Island. We were also allowed the amazing honor of touring The Jim Henson Studio where students witnessed how a professional shop functions. What you are seeing here is the trailer for “Flip”. The full length and amazing complete film will be premiered at CMA’s “Beyond the Refrigerator Door” exhibition on Governor’s Island taking place on Sunday, September 12th, 11am-3pm. Be there, it’s promising to be incredible!

CMA at The Harbor School

05.12.10

This spring CMA and the Harbor School have partnered in an exciting mural making project. CMA’s Teaching Artist, Yashua Klos, has been facilitating weekly Friday afternoon workshops with a group of Harbor School Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Inspired by their experiences at the Harbor School, the mural will illustrate the school’s unique culture and its current Bushwick neighborhood. The completed mural, painted on 6 panels covering 25ft wide and 10 ft tall, will be unveiled in the school’s new space on Governor’s Island in fall of 2010. It will serve as an ongoing reminder to future generations of the school’s origins in Brooklyn.

Check out these pictures to track the murals progress!
