Tune in for the power of making images! In a nod to the Asian Arts Initiative's journey toward a new home, this lively spring collaboration with Termite TV Collective brings together a video-making workshop on the theme of "ReLocation." This 7-week course will teach you the basic technical skills of digital video making, including how to work a camera, how to record sound and how to edit video footage using Final Cut Pro. You'll finish with your own collaborative television show and have a chance to share it with friends, family and the world in a public screening!

The workshop is open to artists of all ages and levels of experience, and culminates with a showcase of the best plays presented as a new theater work written and performed by the ensemble.
