About the Arts Institute

Creating an institute for the performing arts in Sussex County continues to be at the forefront of the mission of Clear Space Theatre Company. In order to augment the rich performing arts that are already established in this area, it is our hope that a training facility will create a community of professional performers. We feel that professionalism occurs when knowledge and skills are gained through the systematic study of a chosen area. The classes of the Arts Institute are designed to move students, of all ages and ability levels, through a logical progression of learning that will allow a sense of self-confidence and ownership of the performing arts. Take a class and enjoy the process!

Guiding Principles of the Clear Space Arts Institute:

Students thrive in an environment that offers challenging but attainable goals.
The arts reveal the creative process in each student and inspire collaborative problem solving.
Arts education experiences build self-confidence allowing students to find a larger, more expansive version of self to guide change in the world around them.
