Skip to Content Cal Poly News Search Cal Poly News Go California Polytechnic State University March 4, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Peter Wilt (805) 756-7111 Cal Poly Arts Presents KID ACTION Workshops in SLO March 14-17 SAN LUIS OBISPO -- In conjunction with the March 25 "STREB As Science Project" show at the Cal Poly Theatre, Cal Poly Arts is pleased to also present STREB KID ACTION on March 14 - 17. The event is a community educational activity workshop where local children get to work with professional Streb Go! instructors to learn the Streb "Pop Action" movement technique. Choreographer and MacArthur "Genius" grant winner Elizabeth Streb created KID ACTION, designing a successful series of youth movement classes. For the San Luis Obispo workshop, STREB's Chantal Deebel and Terry Dean Bartlett will work with teachers at Central Coast Gymnastics Training Center, conducting four days of "Pop Action" workshops. Explains Ms. Deebel: "We orient people inside their bodies and in space during the warm-up section so that we can then progress to more advanced techniques including taking impact and low flying...(but) we always gear the class to the (different) levels of the participants." The structures and props used in the sessions teach children about the physics of movement, the geometry of space, and the use of color, light, and special effects to change the perception of movement. Rehearsals will be held Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 16, with a show for friends and family on Monday, March 17. The location for all KID ACTION activities will be at the Central Coast Gymnastics Training Center, 3566 S. Higuera St. in San Luis Obispo. Those interested in more information and participating in the workshops should call Cal Poly Arts Program Manager Peter Wilt at 756-7111. 10/2/2009 9:56 AM Cal Poly Arts Presents Children's 'StrebGo' Workshops March 14-17 2 of 2 file:///X:/Copyright/Submissions/_PressReleases%20&%20Cal%20Pol...
