14th Annual Camp Summer Shakeup begins! This week Marfa Live Arts (MLA) is instructing a group of students in a dramatic arts and singing workshop that culminates this Thursday, June 5 at 11am with a student showcase at Hibbits Gym. According to third-year MLA Artistic Associate and Teaching Artist Rachel Tate, “This year, we are focusing on adding musical elements, dance, and the continuation of a lot play 🎭. It’s the first week of summer, and I want us to laugh and explore within the ensemble and see what we can make together.” ☀️Under the theme of “Let the Sunshine In”, the students will be exploring 1970’s music 🎶 and vibes with the help of Marfa Live Arts instructors Fatima Anaza, Nina Martin, and Amanda Bloom. “These kids are incredible and funny, and I like to see the way their brains work when we’re coming up with ideas. You really never know what’s going to come out of their thoughts, and then we run with it!” says Tate. The community is invited to a showcase performance this Tursday June 5th at Hibbits Gym at 11am.
