THE
PUBLIC
SCHOOL
CHICAGO
Musicians and all kinds of other artists have means and need to practice their work through daily exercises. But what does the actor have outside of rehearsals for a particular project? "Viewpoints" is the name of an improvisation technique/language for performers which was pioneered by the choreographer Mary Overlie and later extensively developed by the theatre director, Anne Bogart and her company, SITI. I would like to take a class that both uses and critically questions the literature and experiences of Viewpoints to explore it as a kind of "daily practice" -- at the level of a weekly class. I would like to explore/question it's basic assumptions and procedures, through testing it's simple exercises -- many of them movement based, but not limited to the actor's physical work -- gradually, diligently, patiently becoming more and more advanced, without, initially at least, any pressure of a goal to result in performance for an audience.
Just checking to see if these lessons are still available and in the same place. I am interested in signing up. My email is morrell.business09@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance!

We are excited to announce the opening of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN. On 18 September at 19:00 we will hold an event at Program (http://www.programonline.de/) called The Future of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN.
We have setup a mailing list for “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”Click here to signup.
This is a discussion list for The Public School project, “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”
** What this list is for **
1. We will post any last minute details for or changes to meeting places here.
2. It will be the place for any follow-up discussion and some kind of daily summary.
3. A place where anyone else anywhere (including people at various Public Schools who are reading along or running parallel sessions) to participate as much as you want to – send responses, questions, provocations, photos, demands, etc.
close reading of plato. one book every two weeks?
In this class we will take students of the public school of chicago and offer them free classes @ Mid-Coast Free School.
Because education should be free.
I want to target this class at people who have prior programming experience, preferreably an OOP language.
This class is an introduction to openFrameworks, a cross-platform C++ library for creative coding. Especially created for artists and designers, openFrameworks is the ideal starting point for those who want to take their first steps in C++ programming. At the same time, it is an immensely powerful tool for developing more advanced projects, providing a simple and intuitive structure for experimentation with many other open-source libraries.
This class will be a chance to experiment with building new systems for interaction that move away from the screen and into physical space.
This project is in part an exhibition on Vidéogazette and in part a look at paralell contemporary practices that employ technology and seek experimental, non-hierarchical approaches to creative and cultural production. The Philly Public School has been invited to launch a series of class proposals with accompanied posters (with the inclusion of other Public Schools) which will eventually culminate into a class or series of classes. A group will gather virtually on IRC during Tuesday evenings this month to generate material The Whole World is Watching. Deadline for this would be the first week in May. See scheduled dates and comments for detail on how to get involved.
