Summer high school musical theater workshops offered

Posted Jun 14, 2020 10:29 AM

The Dane G. Hansen Foundation, in partnership with the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts, is pleased to announce two virtual high school summer theater workshops this summer.

Lovewell artists were originally scheduled to offer seven in-person workshops this summer, the third year of Lovewell Kansas. Due to the Coronavirus, the in-person workshops were canceled for the safety of our students. But creativity is not defined by in-person events!

The Foundation and Lovewell are excited to announce 2 online Lovewell Workshops (one week each) for NW Kansas high school students (those exiting 8th grade through graduating seniors).  

Workshops dates are: June 22-26; and July 6-10, from 1pm to 4pm online. Students can participate in one or both.

Students will work with Los Angeles artists (and Kansas workshop favorites) Amber Allgyer and Eric Flemons to create a mini-musical or a themed song cycle. Other artists from around the globe are likely to pop in as well.

The final video product will be presented virtually and also be part of the Lovewell summer of 2020 around the world video.

Tuition is $25 per session. Workshops are underwritten by the Dane G. Hansen Foundation which greatly reduces the cost for students. No student will be turned away due to financial need.

The Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts is a not-for-profit organization that brings students together with professional artists to conceive, create, compose, write, choreograph, design and produce and original musical in each workshop. The Lovewell team are artist who make their living as musical directors, playwrights, choreographers, composers, lyricists, etc.

Lovewell is based in Florida, but its roots are in Kansas. Today, Lovewell offers workshops all over the United states and also internationally. Learn more at lovewell.org.
