The Dane G. Hansen Foundation is pleased to bring the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts to northwest Kansas this summer. The Foundation is sponsoring four, week-long musical theatre workshops for high school students (incoming freshman through graduating seniors).

Students conceive, write, choreograph, compose, design, rehearse, produce and perform an original piece of musical theatre in collaboration with a staff of professionals and educators.

Space is still available at each of the four locations:

June 4-8, 2018              Phillipsburg

June 11-15, 2018           Concordia

June 18-22, 2018          Russell

June 25-29, 2018          Colby

Students from surrounding communities and counties are encouraged to participate in a workshop close to them. For more information or to register, visit lovewell.org, and click on Apply, and then Kansas.

ABOUT THE LOVEWELL WORKSHOPS

The week-long day camp/workshop brings students from all different creative backgrounds together to create an original work of musical theatre from scratch. The process needs writers, actors, poets, dancers, singers, dreamers, visual artists, musicians, composers, designers and creative students of all kinds.

The students will work with a team of professional artists to explore the arts while forging new friendships and making memories to last a lifetime.

PARTICIPTION COSTS

The Hansen Foundation is underwriting the cost of the workshops so the student participation fee is significantly discounted to $50.  However, no student who is truly committed to participate will be denied the opportunity due to inability to pay. Scholarships are available.
