Croatian Dancer Trains B.Voc Students

Maja Drobac, a Croatian dancer, with her saha-shishye Chitra Arvind, enthralled the B.Voc. students with their workshop.
Maja is a Croatian lady, an expert in contemporary dance, has also learned Bharata Natyam in Bangalroe for eight years with Ms Lalita Srinivasan.
The three-hour workshop, which included demonstrations on aesthetics of dance and body movement, also ensure that the students get enough practice to be "physical", and practical tips on how to use body and movements in film and animation.
Maja, an avid admirer of Jan Fabre, spoke with absolute mastery over Indian classical, Western ballet, and contemporary dances, and very specially comparing and contrasting Indian with Western practices in depicting body, eros, and spirit in arts. She is also a trained film director.

As part of the workshop, Chitra Arvind also demonstrated three capsules of Bharata Natyam.
St Joseph's College has launched two Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc.) courses at Under Graduate level: Visual Media and Film Making and Digital Media and Animation.

SJC to Start Two New Professional Courses

SJC to Start Two New Professional Media Courses

06 June. In the last few weeks many of you have been asking about the two new courses: B.Voc. or Bachelor of Vocation [specialisation]. We have the official word from the UGC now: the UGC has asked us to start these two Vocational courses: Bachelor of Vocation [Visual Media and Film-making] and Bachelor of Vocation [Digital Media and Animation].

In the next two days, we will come up with admission procedures for you. The courses will begin in the next two weeks - towards the end of June.
If a student completes the entire course, these are three year Under Graduate (UG) courses, like the current BVC or Visual Communication.
The beauty of these courses is you can enter and exit after a year or two and still get appropriate certificate like Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Bachelors!

New Under Graduate Programmes - an Update
Sometime ago - we had mooted the possibility of a new and ambitious Under Graduate Course, along the lines of BVC or Visual Communication.

Now we learn that we will have a clear picture regarding its launch on 5th June.
For you information, we have two proposals awaiting the UGC nod:
1. Visual Media and Filmmaking
2. Digital Media and Animation

These two are separate 3-year UG  programmes, with multiple entry and exit points for students, who can officially discontinue the programme after the first or second or the third year, and obtain a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or a Bachelor's at the end of each year.
We will keep you updated.
