Join us for an exciting and collaborative Arts Camp over Intersession, led by the incredibly talented Jules Taylor.
Jules Taylor is not just a Teaching Artist; she's a force of creativity and passion. As a rostered Teaching Artist with the Arkansas Arts Council, Jules specializes in youth theatre and early music education. Her dedication to the arts extends to her role on the faculty of Arts Live Theatre. With an impressive resume, she has shared her expertise with Trike Theatre, Walton Arts Center, and various schools and organizations. Jules has left her mark on Arkansas through her role as an actor in the history play, "Digging Up Arkansas." Remarkably, she has performed in every county in the state, amassing nearly 500 shows. But that's not all – she is also the vibrant persona behind "SHAKY BUGS," a one-woman, high-energy, interactive singing and movement party designed for the under-5 crowd. You also may have seen her in Citiscapes Magazine in her article about her film “In a World Full of Loneliness.’
