Looking for a summer camp? Why not try Santa Fe?

US Performing Arts has the most incredible theater intensive this summer at Santa Fe University of Art & Design. Why? Because many years ago I had an epiphany. I was teaching in the St. Louis area and a colleague invited me to a performance of the visiting Santa Fe Opera Company. Looking back at it now, I’m more than a little embarrassed about my attitude. It wreaked of arrogance borne of having danced with some of the country’s leading opera companies back in my ballet performance days. My friend was insistent that I would really enjoy the evening and in fact put together a little impromptu get-together with a few of the members of the company so I agreed to go.

From the first look and first sounds my snobbish sophistication disappeared. The sets and costumes were gorgeous. The opera singers, many of whose names I recognized from New York, San Francisco and European stages, were absolutely first-rate. I was amazed. I could hardly wait to meet up with some of these performers to ask them why? Why Santa Fe?

Here’s what I found out and here’s why lo these many years later we finally have a summer theater camp with Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Billed as Santa Fe University of Art and Design Theatre Intensive I have no doubt it will establish embers of creativity and passion that will ignite the craft of all those who participate. Santa Fe is populated year ’round with extraordinarily creative people. Artists, actors, dancers and singers retool and refuel in Santa Fe. Best of all for our students, summer is when all the performing arts festivals take place! There is an absolute plethora of arts events. The Santa Fe Opera and Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival present their seasons of world class performances, the Thirsty Ear Festival of roots music, the New Mexico Jazz Festival, the Santa Fe Bluegrass & Old Time Music Festival. If that’s not enough, Santa Fe is a favorite location for filmmakers. In fact, I have a friend there right now directing the movie The Last Stand. Santa Fe is definitely a place to stir your creative juices.

For all the above reasons, and my respect for the performing arts program, its chair and faculty, that I am so excited about this summer theatre intensive. It’s also about my strong belief that that there is a right college fit for every student and this is a special place for a special group of talented creative emerging artists. So, if you’re a rising high school junior or senior come try it on this summer and if you’re a high school drama teacher Santa Fe is waiting for you this summer.
