Justin Willman has announced his 2023 "Magic For Humans In Person" Tour. The comedian, magician, and host will be bringing his new set to stages across the country. Justin Willman wants to melt your brain while making you laugh. He’s best known as the star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic For Humans. But you may recognize him from one of his many television appearances (The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Ellen, Conan...). Or maybe you know his work as a host (Baking Impossible; Cupcake Wars; Win, Lose or Draw...). Or maybe he’s the child magician you hired in suburban St. Louis in the ‘90s. If you don’t know Justin, he’s a magician and comedian who’s mastered the art of turning cynics into believers (or at least getting them to laugh). His live show is simultaneously mind-blowing and hilarious, and will likely keep you up at night wondering how the heck any of it was possible. Justin is also a proud father, a loving husband, and has zero experience as a licensed boat mechanic (that’s a different Justin Willman). Connect with Justin Willman on Social Media!

Description During this masterclass hosted by the Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts, filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe will discuss his approaches to making movies about movies. The director of "Lynch/Oz" (2022), "78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene" (2017), and "Memory: The Origins of Alien" (2019) will talk about how his approach to documentary and cultural-commentary unfolds through research, production, and post-production. Philippe will discuss these aspects of his filmmaking practice, among others, with Center director Michael Trigilio. About Alexandre O. Philippe Swiss American filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe has written and directed numerous award-winning films and documentaries, many of which take on the role of unpacking the most influential works of master filmmakers. His most recent film, "78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene", is a documentary about Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic shower scene from Psycho. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and screened extensively at festivals before its release by IFC Films. The documentary explores the intangible cinematic space between the shots and delves into Hitchcock’s genius in unprecedented fashion. It is the first feature-length investigation into the art, craft, and influence of a single extraordinary scene. Philippe holds a master’s degree in dramatic writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and is creative director at Exhibit A Pictures. Other past works include Doc of the Dead, The People vs. George Lucas, and an ongoing series of short films for The Criterion Collection titled Double Exposure. Over the years, he has conducted numerous film analyses and writing seminars at schools, universities, film festivals, and museums around the world, featuring in-depth deconstructions of classic and contemporary films. Philippe has also served on several film-festival juries, including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Rome Film Festival, and New Zealand Film Awards. Questions? Email us.

Come and unlock the magic of music & clay as you embark on a creative journey! Join us for an immersive and hands-on ceramic workshop where you’ll uncover the ancient art of crafting your very own ocarina, a whimsical and enchanting musical instrument. Throughout this comprehensive workshop, you’ll learn the step-by-step process of creating an ocarina from raw clay to a beautiful musical instrument. Under the guidance of our instructor, Israel Basurto, you’ll delve into the world of ceramics, exploring essential techniques, and shaping clay with your hands. From molding the body of the ocarina to intricately carving the finger holes and crafting the mouthpiece, you’ll acquire the skills to bring your musical vision to life.
