Then you know what this girl is totally talking about.

Come join our group for informal sessions offering the opportunity to draw from a live model!

 

 http://figuredrawing.meetup.com/105/

Everyone is very welcome, from complete beginners to professional artists. Our sessions are laid-back, without a teacher to tell you what you are doing "right" or "wrong". You aren't expected to show your drawings to anyone unless you want to, so please don't be put off even if you don't have much experience.

We have a great mix of people, from those who are simply trying to work extra time for creativity into their lives, to professional artists looking to sharpen their life drawing skills.

Please notice the numerous Assistant Organizers we have! This is because this is a group run collaboratively by the group. Any member can set up a session for the group at any time. The only required criteria for sessions we have is:

• Experienced figure model(s) ages 18+
• All attendees contribute toward model fees
• Classical poses, no overtly sexual poses please
• Drawing and painting materials only, no photography please
• A professional, safe and respectful work environment for the models and fellow artists
• Bring your own supplies and materials
• Enjoy!

Our goal is to have both regularly scheduled and impromptu sessions as frequently as possible so we have a variety of times and locations to choose from. So if you know of a space that's available, post a notice!

Models, please join and introduce yourself by posting a note in the message board so we can easily reach you and see if your schedule fits our session time.

All artists are encouraged to post their artwork and self-promotional info in the message board.

See you at the drawing board!

Cheers, John

Hello, I'm going to be attending this september and I've lived in the Seattle area my whole life. I was wondering if currently attending students had any trouble working to pay off tuition while going to school? Does it seem like a heavy load? I ask because I am going to have to pay for the majority of tuition and other expenses by myself and don't want to find myself regretting the decision to go to Cornish when it is so expensive. I will most likely continue to live with my parents, at least at first, because we live fairly close to the school and I know I wont go hungry this way :) But have any of you who are in the same financial boat decided to get an apartment anyway and pay off the loans later? I find this tempting because I am more than ready to live on my own and live the college life otherwise. Also, any Visual Communications majors with anything to say about the department? Any comments would be appreciated, and I really look forward to starting next term. Thanks!

Coming up this saturday night ! Great fun ! And this year, it's in the Centre House Theatre which is a great theatre ! Click on the pic for details ! :)

Hey guys. I have a housing question. I'm an incoming freshman theatre major and I already have two roommates, one of whom I've sort of lived with before, and one of whom I contacted via the housing questionnaire on the school website. Online roommate and I will both be at the housing forum on the 14th of July, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions concerning finding apartments on or near Capitol Hill for pretty cheap.
Thanks in advance for any help.

hi

okay i'm kind of in the middle of a problem...

basically it's only a few days before May 1 and i need to make a decision

i'm a transfer student. i got into cornish for a BFA in acting. i also got in to a few other schools, plus the other one i'm considering in NY for a BFA in playwriting. i like doing both...but what draws me more to cornish is the possibility to do some writing? at least from what i heard. i was wondering if at cornish you can get together with friends to put on your own fully staged productions.

and if there's anything else i should now. i'm from a suburb of chicago so i don't know much about seattle at all. is the living situation good up there? i know it's diff. with housing, but for the most part do you guys like it? right now i go to Illinois Wesleyan Univ. and it's a complete college town and i believe cornish is quite different

honestly...if any of you have any info about the theatre department or living experiences...i would reallllly appreciate hearing it. thank you-

-jessie

Hi, I am applying to Cornish and have some questions.

1. What is the music department like?
2. Is the "classical" voice department for classical works/opera/musical-theatre/something else?
3. Do you know if the voice teachers are trained in opera?
4. Do you know of anyone who has graduated from the college and recieved jobs in musical theatre/operas?
5. Do you think the BA in Music Program is so good that it's worth paying so much for tuition?
6. How much more quality training do you think students at Cornish get as opposed to University students?

Thank you! I plan on seeing an advisor, but am hoping for some student opinions!

Aloha! ( Read more... )

In the gallery, reception 6-11pm-The wayward Live Girls! Portraits of the Live Girls! Company by Kristina Hagman

www.kristinahagman.com

This show of all new paintings from Seattle artist Kristina Hagman, inspired by the ladies of Live Girls! Theater and the portraiture of Kathleen Houlahan opens in the Live Girls! Gallery Nov 12th as part of Ballard's Second Saturday Artwalk. The show will be on display through Dec. 18th. The Gallery will be open for a reception on Second Saturdays Nov 12th and Dec 10th from 6-11PM and the paintings will be on view at all Live Girls! events through December 18th. Visit our website at www.livegirlstheater.org for show schedules.

A frequent visiter to LG! Kristina expressed interest in painting portraits of the Live Girls! As the process began she was also inspired by the work of Kathleen Houlahan's portraits currently on exhibit at MOHAI which were the subject for a commissioned play being written by Live Girls! Associate Artistic Director Zoe Fitzgerald. Kathleen Houlahan painted portraits at the Ruth School for "Wayward" Girls in the 20s and 30s as a gift to the young residents. Kristina's portrait sessions began to influence Zoe's Play "Girls" as the writing project had influenced her. Her portraits capture the playfulness and spirit of Live Girls! naughty company as well as quiet off stage moments that our audiences rarely get a glimpse of. The pieces range from to light and playful illustrations of the group together to striking individual portraits. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to see Kristina's images of the "Wayward" Live Girls!

Kristina Hagman is a painter and printmaker who has been exhibiting her work for 25 years. She has shown nationally and in Europe. Her works have been exhibited in Seattle at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery at the University of Washington. She has Studied at The University of New Mexico and the College of Santa Fe. At The Santa Fe Institute of Fine Art, she studied with Bay area figurative artists, Richard Diebenkorn, Nathan Oliveira and Wayne Thiebaud. For more about her work visit www.kristinahagman.com

Hellllo my names Amanda LaPlaca, people call me Lala for kicks! I am originally from Rhode Island (my family's from the Boston area though) but I am currently a freshman at Adelphi University on Long Island, NY. I have decided I want to transfer to an art school. I am interested mostly in printmaking and photography. I was curious if anyone can give me some feedback on cornishcollege on a whole and possibly: the good and bad on its location in seattle, difficulty level as far as classes, how friendly people are, if there are things going on all the time, what the feel of the school is. also if anyone is a major in those two areas i mentioned before or a transfer, please let me know if you would be willing to answer some questions or tell me how its been for you! All i konw is that long islanders blow (at least most of the ones i've met here lol) and im ready for somewhere new
thanks so much!

SCAB

September 23, 2005 - October 16, 2005

Live Girls! Theater invites you to the Northwest premiere of SCAB--an intense, sharply witty, wacky yet joyful play by one of America's most promising and audaciously imaginative playwrights, the award-winning Sheila Callaghan.

A fresh, fiery coming of age story, SCAB brings together a post-nuclear family of two very different women, a malevolent statue of the Virgin Mary and a houseplant named Susan to create offbeat, comedic exploration of friendship, love, pain and healing. (Backstage)

"written with a yen for interesting language and liberally salted with well-observed details of the lives of newly minted adults...the play shines. (The New York Times)
"Sheila Callaghan crafts sparkling dialogue for two goofy graduate students in LA... romantic entanglements are added with wit, and sensitivity. A whip-smart play." -TimeOut NY (Critic's Pick)

"Rarely does a play give such an impression that the characters were alive long before I began watching them and continued with their lives after I went home... The plot is unusual without being implausible, the dialogue is intelligent while still sounding natural... I would watch this play again without hesitation." -offoffoff.com

Friday and Saturday at 8 pm
Sunday at 2pm
No show October 8th due to monthly art walk cabaret

admission
Student/ Senior $9.00
TPS Members (Show ID at Door) $10.00
General $12.00
Free under 18

It never occured to me to check for a Cornish community! How dumb am I? Anyway, I graduated from Cornish with my BFA in theater back in 2003. I now live in New York and still act, even though I'm a playwright. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.

Live Girls! Theater to sponsor and host two sneak peek performances of These Are Not My Pants! ( you are what you wear), a solo show performed and written by Sabrina Prada, before she heads to the 2005 Vancouver Fringe Festival.
