SUMMARY:Cinematic Workflow Workshop
DESCRIPTION:– STUDENTS & STAFF – \nJoin the Stellenbosch Film Arts Department for a full day intensive workshop about film workflows. This workshop will start with pre-production\, and in-depth look at the decisions made and how it affects the entire workflow. After a thorough pre-production meeting the workshop will move to the Temple set where we will shoot a short film. After this we will move to post-production. We will sync footage and sound\, do a basic edit and then consider the file interchange process to hand over the project to sound and we will also consider this process in relation to other post processes such as grading.

Led by renowned South African land artist Strydom van der Merwe\, students and lecturers will come together to imagine the vision\, symbolism\, and form of this year’s effigy. Through collaborative ideation\, sketching\, discussion\, and material exploration\, we’ll move from many ideas toward one shared direction. No marks. No pressure. Just imagination\, conversation\, and the first spark of something that will eventually rise — and burn — in October.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Co-Creation and Creativity: Arts Education in Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”152130″]The Open Window Teacher’s Conference aims to bring together educators\, researchers\, and practitioners in the field of creative arts education to explore innovative strategies for making our curricula and pedagogical strategies more individualised and learner-centric. The conference will provide a platform for knowledge-sharing\, practical workshops\, and panel discussions that address challenges and opportunities in art education. \nDate: Friday 15 May\nVenue: Open Window\, Stellenbosch\nCatering: Lunch \nTheme Exploration in the Programme: \nThis year\, our Co-Creation and Creativity: Arts Education in Dialogue programme will explore multiple topics\, including curriculum co-creation with students\, learner-centred education and approaches to well-being\, collaborative techniques in creativity\, and co-creating with AI. \nCo-Creation and Creativity offers the platform for educators to consider: How do learners shape or inform their own learning? How does the curriculum respond to or adapt itself around learners? To what extent are we as educators continuously evolving to meet the needs of our learners? This topic is pressing as it engages with the phenomenon of ‘the individual’ and the growing demand for an individualised approach to education. It foregrounds pedagogical approaches which prioritise student autonomy and agency\, their subjective experiences and perspectives\, and self-directed learning. This phenomenon further entails curriculum diversity and flexibility. How can we empower ourselves as educators to navigate set curriculum parameters\, whether governmental or privately determined? How can we collaborate cross-institutionally for the benefit of educators and students alike? \nAs educators\, we acknowledge the extent to which learning and creativity are\, in fact\, always collaborative\, whether it be between groups and individuals\, or between people and technology\, online platforms\, and tools. Particularly relevant to co-creating with technology is the promotion of active learning alongside AI rather than blindly depending on it. Our conference thus encourages critical conversation around the ethical use of AI tools. \nJoin us in the spirit of collaboration as we foster dialogue among educators\, institutions\, and industry professionals to enhance curriculum development and showcase best practices in arts education.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_button border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openwindow.co.za%2Fco-creation-and-creativity-arts-education-in-dialogue-2%2F93768%2F” uncode_shortcode_id=”165217″]Programme and Workshops[/vc_button][vc_button border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fopenwindowspecialistspaces.as.me%2Fschedule%2Fc05fcb45%2Fappointment%2F90329282%2Fcalendar%2F12251994%2Fdatetime%2F2026-05-15T08%253A30%253A00%252B02%253A00%3Fcategories%255B%255D%3DTeacher%2527s%2BConference” uncode_shortcode_id=”331915″]RSVP[/vc_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Figure Friday - Remix
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS\, STAFF & ALUMNI \nFigure Friday – Remix reimagines the traditional figure drawing session by blending observational practice with emerging technologies.

SUMMARY:Interrogating the gaze as an avenue towards counter-storytelling
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”394565″] \nCounter-Storytelling: Interrogating the Gaze \nHow do your experiences shape the stories you tell? In this interactive writing workshop\, you’ll explore the power of perspective\, unpack the idea of the “gaze”\, and discover how inherited ways of seeing influence academic writing and creative work. Through thought-provoking discussions\, creative writing exercises\, and collaborative reflection\, you’ll develop practical tools for crafting more intentional\, nuanced\, and authentic stories. Whether you’re a writer\, filmmaker\, designer\, or simply curious about storytelling\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to challenge the “single story” and rethink the narratives we create. It aims to equip participants with the tools to scrutinise and subvert their own biases. \nSpace is limited to ensure an engaging and interactive workshop.
