Meet The Artists
My name is John Keller and I am the Director of Education for coLAB Arts.
My creative passions are theater of all kinds. I love sitting in a theater and having a communal experience with artists and audiences.
What inspires me most about summer institute students is how much we all surprise ourselves and each other. I learn so much as an artist from the work that our students create.
My name is Jace Pastras.
My creative passions are theatre, writing, textile arts, and creating things that bring people together and help us all to heal.
What I love about arts education is its ability to connect people, students, teachers, and viewers. I am constantly astonished by students ability and want to give and share parts of themselves through their work, it really inspires me.
My name is Jasmine Carmichael
My creative passions are fashion - particularly Styling/Accessorizing, Architectural Design, Acting & Storytelling
What I love about summer institute students is how they challenge and inspire me to be more creative, kind and caring. They are so talented and continue to surprise me with their insight and art.
What I like most about teaching is the opportunity to learn.
I believe in recursive strategies; that through rehearsal and revision, we deepen our connection to the material and better define our goals.
What I love about summer institute students their capacities for growth and change, and by the way they place trust in us and each other.
