To say that I am proud is an understatement. I am overwhelmed with admiration for these students, teachers and supportive family members. Tissues were needed, as I tried to hold back tears of gratitude. Even as I write this, I cannot help but feel touched over how wonderful our private students are. You go through the motions everyday, not realizing the effects you are having on these kids growth and development. Then to sit back and be able to watch and enjoy, is a such a blessing. And, these teachers, oh my word! How did I get so lucky to have the passion, and love these teachers have for their students. It has shined through in every way. We see you and your hard work. Bravo! Way to not give up, way to put yourself out there, and way to evoke the holiday spirit during a time when it is so needed. I commend all of you and pray you know how special you are!

I am so proud of Anthony Chaver and his writing, directing and videography of a Miscast Cabaret!! He had this idea right from the start and went full force ahead with it. Anthony chose awesome songs that these students would never get cast for, but that fit them so well, that you’d put them in that role instantly. I am so grateful to have a young, talented director be at MEL’s to inspire these kids. Please take a moment to watch Anthony’s hard work, along with the hard work of these amazing students. Each performance they’re in, just gets better and better.

It has been an emotional week for my family and me. Lots of anxiety, wanting to give up, prayers to the heavens, as we navigated through sickness. The positive side, as I always try to find, is that our little community, our teachers, students and parents were absolute champions and the most amazing supporters through this whole thing. I cannot express enough, my gratitude to everyone who subbed a class, shoveled and salted, was okay moving lessons, was flexible to do virtual and who generally understood that the world that surrounds us, came to our front door. With that being said, I can also say how proud I am that the teachers and students remain safe due to our protocols and show that our plan works. We can continue to grow and create in this crazy world, if we continue to respect each other and our health. Thank you for your support, patience and love the past couple weeks. I seriously don’t know what I would do without it ♥️

Shea's Arts Engagement and Education shared a post to the group: The Kenny Awards. March 11 at 9:50 AM · Next Kenny Social happens on 3/15 at 7PM. Kenny participants make sure you tune in to hear our guest Katie Mallinson inspire us with: Dramaturging You: Crafting Your Artistic Role Dramaturgy is a comprehensive exploration of a play. A dramaturg looks at how and where and why a play is composed; at what the words, images, and performance communicates; and at how all the elements relate to the world in which we live. Today, dramaturgs work on more than just plays; you can find a dramaturg on musicals, dance concerts, operas, even video games. Anywhere there’s a story to be told, a dramaturg can be found. You have a story. You have the story of who you are, the art you want to create, and the roles you want to play. By applying some of the tools and tricks of dramaturgy to the story of you, you’ll be able to shape the vision of your role as an artist. Self-Dramaturgy will be an interactive play session in which we look at your creative autobiography, your personal artistic mission, and your presentation of self (your “brand”). #KennyAwards
