As an actor who travels from market to market, it can be very easy to feel isolated and drained, without a sense of grounding in an artistic home. Thankfully, Visionbox Studio is an opportunity, for artists of all kinds, to return time and time again in order to experience an artistic homebase and a familiar community of artists with whom they can share and grow. The work is always empowering and helps lift me up while striving ahead in the ever challenging, and often discouraging world of professional acting. Jennifer is a brilliant teacher and her insightful, honest and practical approach to directing is tremendously helpful in furthering my craft, improving my artistry and empowering my career.
Places like Visionbox are essential to any community that values the arts and the diverse world of performing artists within it. They are the life blood of artists and empower them to create the art we all enjoy. If you value the arts, know and love any artists in your own life or if you want to be a supportive part of the performing arts in our communities, please consider donating to Visionbox. Your money will do so much to keep the performing arts alive and well in Colorado.
Our vision at Visionbox is to develop the work of visionary artists. Though artists are born, they are then made great. We aren't only training actors and artists, but also advocating for them. If we don't have structures, and mentors to guide them, we will lose the art form. Visionbox Studio's mission is to raise the overall level of performing arts in Colorado by providing student and professional actors with training rooted in graduate-level curriculum, taught by theater professionals; and to integrate this training into the development of new intermedia performance work that engages audiences in the social and human issues of our time.
Every day we ask what the role of an artist is in today's society, the challenges we face in the age of technology, global crisis, and disconnection . . . and one of the solutions we have found is community through communal experiences. Theatre is deeply communal—a shared experience the audience and artists journey through, bringing us all together as we investigate the deepest questions of our humanity. More than ever, we need community. More than ever, artists need a safe place to sharpen their craft so they can better tell stories of the human experience and assist in healing as a culture. The value we put on artists is indicative of the culture surrounding the art. Visionbox Studio is a Not For Profit Organization and is completely dependent on Donors' generosity. Every show you attend and every dollar you donate is a gesture of support for our mission—you are investing in our community and helping to keep us alive. Please consider supporting our mission today and we welcome you into our circle of artists and storytelling lovers. Please support these artists and consider donating today—we have more stories to tell.
