Building on the track record of Inclusion Film's Burbank-based Practical Film Vocation Program, the Arts Council of Kern's Art in Education Program, and the Kern Film Workshop, the Performing Arts Project takes participants through a two-week, 40-hour arts experience that culminates in the creation of a film.

During this program, participants will:
• Develop an understanding of visual storytelling and the collaborative nature of the performing arts.
• Create and direct an individual three-minute short film in addition to being part of a team filmmaking project.
• Acquire and apply knowledge in the areas of script development, directing, acting, dancing, set designing and production, camera work, lighting and sound, and editing.
• Work side by side with a team of professional artists, led by veteran filmmaker Joey Travolta.

Who should apply:
• Those seeking to explore careers in filmmaking and technical theatre.
• Those needing to participate in a vocational skills assessment process.
• Those desiring to transition into long-term arts-related vocational training programs.
• Students seeking community credit.

The Performing Arts Project will be held in downtown Bakersfield. Cost per participant is $1300. Some scholarships are available.
