Lovewell Institute FAQ
Q: Do I have to have proven talent in the performing arts in order to be accepted into a Lovewell summer workshop?
A: No, Virginia, you do not! Lovewell is an opportunity to explore your creativity through the arts, and if you have a passion to express that creativity, this is a wonderful opportunity. If you like the performing arts, want to find out how you might fit into that world, and are willing to work in a focused group for four weeks, Lovewell is perfect for you.
Q: My daughter is a very successful dancer and achieved recognition both in school and in the arts community, do you think Lovewell can offer her the level of artistic challenge that she needs?
A: Lovewell recognizes and nurtures the creativity in artistic young people. They are given an opportunity to see how their talent and interest can be combined with others to create an artistic expression that communicates their ideas to others. Frequently, talented young people are gifted in more that one area of expression and Lovewell gives them the opportunity to explore their creativity in all areas, beginning with the conception and ending with the performance of a stage-worthy musical piece.
Q: My son loves the theatre but doesn’t want to be on stage. What would he get to do?
A: Since the production is created from the ground up, there are many different elements to the process. A student who preferred not to actually perform in the show could participate in the writing sessions, the design and construction of the set and print material, stage management, directing or general arts management. Needless to say, there are boundless jobs to be had in every aspect of the creative process.
