High Impact Arts-in-Education Programs

Nels Cremean has won the hearts of American and international audiences through his "In Jest" shows, keynotes, and more. Applying his Masters in Education and diverse background in performing arts, including training with instructors from Ringling Brothers and Cirque du Soleil, Nels presents several popular arts-in-ed programs that blend physical theater, variety arts, language play (i.e. humor), music, and a theme.

Students, teachers, and others consistently give these programs rave reviews (see Testimonials). The programs and study guides tie in with learning standards for the arts, language, physical education, social studies, math, and science. Programs can also be adapted to specific goals or concepts.

Note: These programs can be booked through Young Audiences of Western New York and Young Audiences of Rochester, two chapters of the nation's leading arts for learning organization. Contact Nels for general inquiries or programs outside of these areas.
