The California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA) is a rigorous pre-professional training program in the visual and performing arts, creative writing, animation, and film for talented artists of high school age. CSSSA provides a supportive environment in which students hone acquired skills and explore new techniques and ideas for an intense and exciting learning experience. The School was created by the California Legislature, held its first session in 1987 and will conduct its 25th session in 2011. Its purpose is to provide a training ground for future artists who wish to pursue careers in the arts and entertainment industries in California. The California State Summer School for the Arts is a state agency funded through a unique public-private partnership.
Students apply for the opportunity to study in one of the School’s seven departments. They may receive 3 units of California State University elective credit for successful participation. Animation students explore the theories and techniques of animation in studio workshops conducted by leading artists in the field. Course work in two-dimensional animation, life drawing, movement and related subjects is augmented by visits from world-renown guest animators. Students attend screenings of animations that demonstrate the history and breadth of the art form. Students in the Creative Writing Program receive individualized instruction in poetry, fiction, and scriptwriting. They work with an award-winning faculty in small groups and have opportunities to learn from visiting writers, literary agents, journalists, and poets. Students and faculty members share their work with the School community in weekly open readings and publish an anthology at the end of the session.

The curriculum includes intensive training in ballet, modern, and body conditioning mat technique; choreography; dance history; and jazz.

CSSSA’s Music Program for vocalists, instrumentalists, and composers features classes and experiences in music history and theory, a mix of Western and non-Western chamber music, composition and improvisation, technology, collaboration with other art forms such as dance, theatre and animation and traditional instruction.

Childhood obesity is a very serious issue in California and the nation. In an effort to combat the issue and promote healthier choices, California has moved to take sodas out of schools, give students healthy school lunch options and promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle. However, some argue that California still hasn't done enough, and that budget cuts eliminating PE classes and healthy lunches are a step in the wrong direction. On the other hand, many people think that eating and exercise habits are personal decisions and none of the state's business. Ten winning essayists from the Legischool Essay Contest will be selected to come to the State Capitol and participate in this Legislative Summit and the Student Run Press Conference. Postmark Deadline: Friday, January 21, 2011.
