The Ume Group is announcing two exciting new ways to support their work and make a difference in the lives of young artists!  

The Scholarship & Apprenticeship Funds

Choose one of the following programs to support...

• Artistic Director's Scholarship Program - Allows 1 early-career performer selected by the Artistic Director based on their passion for physical theatre to receive 12 weeks of physical theatre training FREE.
• The Ume Group Ensemble Apprenticeship Program (NEW!) - Allows 4 gifted physical performers, recently selected from a competitive audition process to train & perform for 15 weeks alongside Core Members of The Ume Group Ensemble entirely for FREE.

(Individual Scholarship & Apprenticeship winners will be announced in January 2016.)

$233.40 covers all the staffing, space rental, and other fees necessary for a single student to join either the Apprenticeship Program or the 12-Week Physical Theatre Course.

Therefore...

• For only $234 you can subsidize one entire scholarship or apprenticeship and have it named for you or in memory of someone you love.

​

• For only $936 you can subsidize this semester's entire class of apprentices (4 students!) and have the class named for you or in memory of someone you love.

Artistic Director's Scholarship Winner:
Courtney McClellan

"My body, mind, and spirit feel open, stronger, and more able, because of what I've learned over the past twelve weeks.  I made invaluable connections with peers and learned from two of the most physically artistic creators I've ever met.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to have taken the 12-Week Physical Theatre course. It would not have been possible without the Artistic Director's Scholarship. "
- Courtney McClellan
