Fund-A-Need 2023

List of 4 items.

• Dance Studio

  The current dance space, located on the second floor of the Kemper Center, is fully equipped with cardio equipment and weights. Imagine a bright, colorful dance studio with ample room for movement and expression. This dedicated space will not only benefit dancers, but also those who use the fitness equipment by providing a separate area for each activity to be carried out safely and efficiently.

• Textile Lab

  The textile lab is a vibrant addition to our performing arts program, bursting with color and creativity. Not only does it strengthen the program, but it also serves as a hub for student passion in textile and costume design. Imagine rows of vibrant fabrics, sewing machines humming, and students hard at work bringing their designs to life. It's a place where fashion design finally has a home on campus, where students can create, store and repair costumes for the stage and beyond. The textile lab is a beacon of inspiration, where the possibilities are endless, and the students' talents can shine.

• Rehearsal Space & Music Classroom

  The new rehearsal space is a game-changer for our thriving performing arts program. This versatile space is designed to meet the needs of actors, allowing them to hone their craft, while the technical elements, set design, and production are underway on the Kemper Theatre stage. It's a space that is consistent with best practices seen across schools and will elevate our performance to new heights.

  
  In addition to being a theater rehearsal space, this room will also be used as a music classroom for our rapidly expanding Lower School. Imagine students learning to play instruments, singing, and composing their own music in this bright and spacious room. The room is designed to foster creativity, learning and growth for our youngest learners. It's a place where the music never stops and future musicians, and actors, can flourish.

• Recording Studio

  Curricular and extracurricular activities at our school are already making the most of the recording spaces we have available, but they would greatly benefit from an upgrade. A dedicated, soundproof recording studio, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, would provide students with an unparalleled opportunity to develop their skills and produce professional-quality recordings. The ability to record music, podcasts, and other audio content in a professional environment would be a game-changer for our students and their future opportunities in the music and audio production industry. It would be an investment in our students' education and future careers.
