Q: My child is a very successful dancer and achieved recognition both in school and in the arts community, do you think Lovewell can offer them the level of artistic challenge that they need?
A: Lovewell recognizes and nurtures the creativity in artistic young people. Students 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, creative people are gifted in more that one area of expression and Lovewell gives students 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: I am a theatre instructor and would like to know how I can use the Lovewell Method in my teaching?
A: The Lovewell staff is happy to come and run a short workshop with you and your students to guide you in the Lovewell Method. Simply contact us to tailor a program to fit your needs. We also have many original Lovewell shows available in our catalogue of new works in which you can rent a script, score and rehearsal accompaniment in order to produce your own show.
Q: My child loves the theatre but doesn’t want to be on stage. What could they contribute to the workshop?
A: Since the production is created from the ground up, there are many different elements to the process. A student who prefers to not 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.
