Young Ensemble

Young artists, unite! Be a member of Lookingglass’ Young Ensemble.

En Français, on dit “ensemble.” In English, we say “all together.” In any language, it is the engine that drives Lookingglass. When you take a part in Lookingglass’ Young Ensemble (YE), you’ll begin to understand how and why. With workshops and mentorship in design, writing, movement, and acting with our adult ensemble, YE pools the creative energy of select Chicago area youth and directs the flow toward shaping entirely original ensemble-derived productions. Because YE models itself after the Lookingglass Ensemble, the process builds not only better artists, but better collaborators, thinkers, and leaders.

This year we are looking for young artists (ages 11-18) of all kinds. If you are a painter, filmmaker, musician, or any other kind of creator- we want YOU!

Young Ensemble members are responsible for a $300 program fee. Lookingglass provides a limited number of scholarships based on applications. To apply for a scholarship, please notate on your application and we will send a follow-up form.
