StudioSpaces

The Arts are presented in Seventh and Eighth Grade as a three-term program, “StudioSpaces,” taught by Shady Hill School music, studio and shop teachers as well as several professional artists and musicians from outside the school community. Students enroll in a variety of courses in both Visual and Performing Arts before leaving Shady Hill.

StudioSpaces courses vary from year to year, but may include: Improv Comedy, Filmmaking, Rock Band, Hip-Hop Songwriting, Intro to Guitar, Costume Design, Ceramics, Photography, Drawing, Sculpture, Animation, Design, Shop, and Oil Painting.

The Winter Musical is a StudioSpaces course that requires an additional time commitment. Students in the cast of the Musical rehearse occasionally on Wednesday and Friday afternoons and on some Saturdays throughout the Winter Term. All participants will be required to be at some after-school rehearsals in the two weeks immediately prior to performances.
