The Institute for Creative Expression

The Institute was formed to offer quality instruction with sincerity for a reasonable tuition
to the community of the greater Lowell area and the Merrimack Valley.

Developing a creative atmosphere designed not only for the elite but for the regular person has never really been accomplished with any genuine lasting community value or significance - until now, with the Institute for Creative Expression. The Institute provides quality studies in many areas of creative interest, from improvisation workshops (including Instant Theater) to study groups in significant acting techniques (including the Sanford Meisner method).

Our goals is to take the best from the best and making the best of it. Since we have some of the greatest minds of this century involved with our operation, we have the luxury of keeping up with the main stream and the independent currents, and backing production projects that are years ahead of their time. We invite the participation of anyone who wants the opportunity to be involved with the world of creative expression in whatever form they find comfortable and natural. We conduct our programs so that creative development can sprout and find its expression with the full support of staff and students/participants, and without fear of rejection or lack of encouragement.

The Institute welcomes anyone unfamiliar with or uncomfortable in conventional theater, music, art, film, or performance art, who wishes to explore original user-friendly exercises and techniques that can be practiced and developed both in a performance art setting, and during ordinary life routines and activities. We welcome people who are left outside the mainstream culture for whatever reason and offer instruction for a reduced rate. We find that sometimes the most interesting art is produced by those who for one reason or another are automatically left outside the culture or who are perceived to have limited means of expression.

Volunteers and interns are welcome.
Cost of any workshop will be waved for anyone interested.
No experience needed - training will be provided.
