Her long-term goal is to seek an assistantship to a costume or set designer and eventually earn a master’s degree in Theatre Design.  Her drawings were displayed.

Daniel Frazier, Photography student from Chino, is a veteran who was deployed overseas three times in five years.

Dimitri Garaud, Theatre Arts student from San Clemente, has performed in four shows in his first two semesters at Saddleback College.  He plans to transfer to Cal State Long Beach to study acting, scene studies, musical theatre, stage craft, costume design, make-up and lighting.  He performed Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast, using candlestick holders as props that he made out of Paper Mache in Diane Lewis’ costume class.

Timothy (Chase) Chandler, Music student from San Clemente, is a trumpet player who switched to vocal music last fall.  He plans to pursue voice and vocal performance which has been a different and transforming experience compared to trumpet, piano and guitar.  He actually started “performing” instead of just playing or singing and he is anxious to see where this takes him in the next 3-5 years.  He performed an operatic piece by Mozart.

Kenneth Breadhoff, Cinema-Television-Radio student from Mission Viejo, plans to pursue his studies at a four-year university and he would also like to create his own audio production-company that features a website to promote up-and-coming voice-over actors.  Audio recordings of his voice-over work were played and he read a poem that he wrote.  The scholarship money will help him regain some finances he lost during the recession.

Andrew Garig-Meyer, Cinema-Television-Radio student from San Juan Capistrano, plans to pursue a higher degree in film and continue to direct short films.  He plans to use his scholarship money to purchase a director’s view finder and to put some of the money towards buying a car, which is an essential need for a filmmaker as many film locales are in the middle of nowhere and requires shooting at dawn. 

Isadora Sharon, Dance student from Laguna Niguel, plans to study many dance styles and to return to martial arts to create an abstract style of dance.  She is also auditioning for Chapman University in the fall.  As a long term goal, she plans to use her studies in anthropology to travel and learn cultural styles of dance.  She performed a multi-cultural dance.
