Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create your art for the big stage? Would you like to come together with other creative spirits and produce a work of Jewish Art?
Just imagine collaborating to create a theme where you contribute both your art: musician, writer, visual artist or dancer, etc., as a ‘solo’ journey, and as a fusion of all the arts combined, culminating in a momentous, performance.
If you want to bring your art to the next level, this is the class for you! Note: Some of you may not want to perform, but may choose to create work, performed by others, in your group. This is perfectly acceptable!
