ACTIVITIES

We are currently working on activities. Here is a sampling of what we have secured to date:

Acting
Acting is a part of life. Fatigue of life is also a part of life. Frequently people do not see life, they just drift through it. Principles of acting techniques allow one to both observe events, change their course and be in charge of what happens. The main goal of education in acting is learning to not just watch, but see; not to just listen, but hear; development of creativity and ability to understand people behind words. Such skills may be used beyond the stage, but are invaluable in family, social and business communication as much as in building successful relationships and, along the way, have FUN! It brings joy and color to every day, develops fearless state of being yourself, discovery of different you in you.

This class will include exercises based on acting technique, including observations, improvisations and games. Participants may expect fluffing up their life the same way they fluff up a pillow in the morning.

Racing Simulators
Net Heads is bringing their Racing To Go simulators to conduct a Formula One racing camp. Instructors have tailored the training to be accessible for the novice and no racing experience is necessary.

Formula One cars are considered to be the fastest circuit-racing cars in the world, achieving speeds of 220 mph, revving to 18,000 rpm and pushing 5 g's in the corners. Net Heads' high definition racing simulators feature authentic handling (right down to the force feedback steering wheels), jaw-dropping visuals and dynamic weather, track and car conditions.

Participants will go through basic driver training, including proper braking, shifting and cornering as well as controlled acceleration. Emphasis will be placed on interpreting evolving track and car conditions. At the end of training, drivers will proceed through qualifications and on to race each other - head to head - on actual F1 circuits, including Monaco, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. As skills increase, collision and damage simulation is enabled, introducing new and exciting challenges.
