Monster Safari
Taught by Alex Riguero
Ages 8 – 12
Saturday, August 2, 2008
10:30 am – 12:30 pm
This workshop takes place at 826LA West
685 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA 90291

You are an intrepid explorer uncovering the secret lives of monsters—how they move, what they eat, what they do for fun, who their natural enemies in the wild are—and you will present your discoveries to the Society of Distinguished Explorers and Naturalists. With a little help from a crack team of "research assistants," you will prepare your paper and visual aids (i.e. illustrations and models) for your brief talk.

What do monsters do in their downtime? Do they hang out at the mall or live in the Serengeti (or in another ecological zone entirely)? How do monsters behave when they think that no one's looking?

Alex Riguero received a BA in Archaeological Studies from Yale University. After spending four years traveling the world, having adventures and excavating everything from colonial villages in Connecticut to Viking farm houses in Denmark to Neolithic Chinese burials, she decided to move to Los Angeles to study the relationship between art, architecture, and urbanism in nineteenth-century London. Her parents don't get it either.
