Arts Education
In the spring of 2008 students
from DTE
arts education programs and partner programs at Bailey's Cafe/Paul
Robeson High School and Hook Productions/NYC Parks & Recreation
participated in a series of weekend workshops at Dance Theatre
Etcetera's Red Hook space.
Under the guidance of independent filmmaker (and DTE board member) Trac
Minh Vu, with Assistant Directors Robert Martin and Julia Rosenfeld
from Dance Theatre Etcetera, the students received pre-professional
training in acting for film and discussed their own experiences growing
up in marginalized communities.
Out of those workshops came Red Hook High, a television pilot from
Fusion Pictures about teenagers living and growing up in Red Hook,
Brooklyn.
On July 16, DTE hosted a sneak-preview screening of the pilot, and soon
after the show was selected for screening at the New York Television
Festival's Independent Pilot Competition.
At the Festival the pilot garnered attention from The New York Times,
ABCNews, and a host of local New York media (click links to read
feature articles).

High, contact jon@dtetc.org
