Arts Orange County and its partners present Randy Nelson, Head of Artistic Development and Training, at Dreamworks Animation. Randy will speak on “Learning and Working in the Collaborative Age”, what business and schools must do to prepare workers and students (and themselves) for new models in the workplace. As a teenager, a passion for animation led Randy to computer programming and he has taught software development for the past 35 years. Randy was one of the founders of the juggling group, the Flying Karamazov Brothers,
and worked in live theater, film and television for more than a decade. His credits include co-writer and performer of three Broadway shows, performances in the White House and for the President at the Kennedy Center, a role in the feature film Jewel of the Nile, and the opportunity to represent the United States at two Olympic Arts Festivals. Randy has worked as a computer animator, led developer training for NeXT Computer, and was a senior instructional designer for Apple. Randy created Pixar University and was the dean for more than a dozen years. Most recently, he taught at Carnegie Mellon University in its Entertainment Technology Center. Today Randy uses his art,
film, theater, animation, software, training and juggling experience daily as the head of DreamWorks Education, providing training and education for all of DreamWorks employees.
