Lovewell Festival Begins Friday, June 26

This summer, as a part of the Lovewell Institute for the Creative Arts based at NSU, an impressive array of pre-teens and teenagers from around the country have been working passionately to change the world by writing, composing, and choreographing original theatrical productions – the culmination of an intensive creative arts workshop series.

The Lovewell program pairs preteens and teens with professional artists and graduate students to provide a forum for collaboration amongst peers and mentors. NSU’s Fischler School of Education and Human Services Interdisciplinary Arts graduate students participating in the summer programs include: Jamie Day, Danny Swerdlow, Tobi Sarah Nagy and Patricia Cabal.
