Video Workshop for Teens

Join us for a hands-on video workshop led by Magic Box Productions and inspired by Bill Viola: Moving Stillness. This is the first in a four-part series tailored to different audiences. Each session begins with a look at Viola’s work, using it as a jumping-off point for creativity and conversation.

Learn the basics of video production, including how to shoot footage, experiment with green screen effects, and reimagine works of art on screen. With guidance from professional teaching artists, you’ll explore big ideas like time, memory, or love, and create your own short video using accessible tools like iPads and OBS (Open Broadcaster Software).

No prior experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to play. Participants should be prepared to walk and film outdoors, weather permitting. Recommended for ages 10+. Capacity is limited. Advance registration is recommended.
