2025/26 School Year
The Artist in Residence program is established thanks to the generous support from the SAS Foundation, including the PTA and other donors. Artists work in the drama classroom and also offer master classes after-school, which are available to any middle school student. This experience is a fabulous opportunity for student actors to work with professional actors and directors and be exposed to different styles and techniques in theater.
*No Show Policy: If you sign up for an after-school workshop, this is a commitment. Please discuss your participation with parents and put it in your personal and family calendars. You are holding a place that is no longer open to other students. If you are absent that day, please email Ms. Fulcher asap so she can contact people on the waiting list. If you do not show up for the workshop, you lose the right to sign up for another AIR workshop this school year.
BILL BOWERS: I have appeared on Broadway in The Lion King and The Scarlet Pimpernel, and in theatres throughout the United States and Europe. A student of the legendary mime Marcel Marceau, I now perform my solo plays throughout the world.
I live in New York City but grew up in the wilds of Montana and from a young age had an attraction to the “big quiet” of the vast western landscape. I began to study what can be said without using words which led me to the art of mime.
Bill has a huge presence on YouTube as one of the world premier mimes. Check him out!

Luca Vaccarri grew up in rural England and began dancing at the age of 16. He trained in dance and choreography at Falmouth University and, since graduating, has worked as a teacher, performer, and choreographer across Europe. His performance practice is rooted in improvisation, drawing inspiration from site, costume, and props.
When working with new dancers, Luca focuses on building a shared foundation of strong technical dance skills, informed by his own training. His physicality is grounded in ballet, modern dance techniques such as Graham, and contemporary approaches like Flying Low.
