ATX Youth Summit

The ATX Youth Summit is free to the public with the purpose to provide an artistic learning experience for Austin youth between the ages of 8 and 17 by having them participate in the following activities such as:

• Part rapper/part singer songwriter, SaulPaul, is an entertaining artist who blends his voice, his guitar and his loop pedal to create a live show that is nothing less than an EXPERIENCE.
• Let’s Make a Film: Lights…  Camera…  Action!!!  Learn how to make a short film.  Get ready for this fast paced session! There will be a short script.  Attendees will be assigned roles such as actors, camera operator, set designer, script supervisor, lighting technician, boom operator and more…  We will rehearse, film, edit and view a short film.  Attendees are asked to provide an email address to which the link for the short film will be sent to share with others.
• Make A Brighter Future: “If you can see it, you can be it.”  Picturing your dreams goals is one of the most powerful mind exercises you can do.  Students will learn the value of writing down their visions with words and pictures and how to visit them daily and act upon them to see them come true!
• A Day with the Bydeem: Austin Youth will share an artistic experience painting a colorful mural with The “Bydeeman”.  Brian Joseph called “Bydeeman” because he paints and shares the philosophy of the fictitious Bydee People that he created with his first painting on September 9, 1986.  Joseph and his Bydee community strive to promote peace, love and happiness.  
• Ashe Arts Austin: Learn a dance routine from Choreographer Sadѐ M. Jones and learn African dance, jazz, ballet, hip hop and modern dance!
• Women in Jazz, Inc. Singer’s Performance Workshop: This dynamic and interactive session will focus on effective communication and performance techniques in music. Sing with a live band and learn how to direct them to play the song the way you want to sing it. Sing jazz, Gospel and soul or perform spoken word. Learn how to move on the stage and capture your audience as you sing in your own style! Pamela Hart and students will showcase vocal jazz with pianist Ryan Howard.
