Insider Insights

We believe everyone should have access to the performing arts and the opportunity to deepen their connection to all art forms, so we are excited to add free Activations that are directly tied to this season’s programming! These public events include community activities and educational programs that directly engage the artists and their creativity beyond the stage. Activations may be onsite, offsite, or digital offerings that welcome our artists and audiences to learn, creatively connect, and journey together.

In Community Check out the variety of participatory workshops and gatherings BroadStage is presenting throughout our community. All ages are welcome to come meet and engage with artists and each other. Program registration is required. Limited capacity. broadstage.org/in-community

REVEAL BroadStage’s new artistic chapter as a commissioner and producer of new work includes REVEAL, a series of on demand and live digital events, sharing exclusive footage, conversations, discussions, and performances that highlight the artists’ transformational practices in action as they develop their commissioned works. REVEAL is curated in collaboration with the artists and available to our audiences for free. broadstage.org/reveal.php

Learning Guides Dive into BroadStage’s Learning Guides to read about the artist’s inspiration for creating their shows and the topics they are investigating. Families, students, educators, and parents can all use these guides to incorporate dance, music, and theater into their classrooms or homes in inventive and experiential ways. Offered for select performances each season. broadstage.org/learning-guide Student Matinee Program The Student Matinee program makes music, dance, and theatre performances accessible to students and provides Learning Guides specifically created for each performance. Professional Development workshops for educators are focused on each matinee and provide a collaborative and supportive learning space for the development of arts integrated lesson plans. broadstage.org/student-matinees.php

Activations at BroadStage are supported by Leonard M. Lipman Charitable Fund, The Herb Alpert Foundation, Johnny Carson Foundation, The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation, Dwight Stuart Youth Fund, and Santa Monica Cultural Affairs.

In Hidden Hills, Kelly Schandel’s minimalist spaces showcase the natural environment and, opposite, the architecture of Wil Carson.

MODERATED MODERNISM

by ROGER GRODY

INTERIOR DESIGNER KELLY Schandel, creative director and principal at Thinkpure, is an unapologetic modernist who believes that sharp edges and minimalist instincts need not result in austere environments.

A “warm modernism” is the signature of the Santa Monica-based firm, founded by Schandel in 2003; her portfolio demonstrates the designer’s ability to create compelling spaces without overcomplicating them.
