The Dane G. Hansen Foundation, in partnership with the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts, will host 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. Because of the Coronavirus, the in-person workshops were canceled for the safety of the students. But creativity is not defined by in-person events!

Two online Lovewell workshops (one week each) will be held for Northwest Kansas high school students (those exiting eighth grade through graduating seniors).

Workshops dates are: June 22 to 26; and July 6 to 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. 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.
