Performing Arts
Trillium’s Performing Arts program cultivates self-awareness, empathy, collaboration, and creative expression. Through classes in playwriting, improvisation, one-act plays, and musical theater history and performance, students can engage at their own interest and comfort level. Along the way, they build transferable skills — including active listening, adaptability, and confident, spontaneous communication — that extend well beyond the stage.
Visual Arts
Visual arts includes drawing, digital art, printmaking and more to offer a variety of tactile mediums and adaptable techniques that meet every artist at their current skill and sensory level. Through both foundational and experimental practices, students bring their original ideas to life.
Artists learn and create in a supportive and flexible environment moving beyond rigid accuracy to celebrate individual style.
