Annual Report 2016-17
1b
Dear UNCSA Family,Every day, as I walk across this remarkable campus, I am inspired by the passion, grit and talent of the young artists who call UNCSA home. They have chosen an artistic and academic path that is not easy, and the heights they are able to reach as a result of the rigor that our arts conservatories provide are nothing short of extraordinary.
I want to thank you, as a donor and friend, for supporting this one-of-a-kind university as we work to prepare the artists of the future. In fact, it’s not even entirely accurate to call them the artists of the future as so many of them are creating world-class art today.
I am pleased to share with you some of the astounding things that our students are accom-plishing, along with great news about our financial well-being. This year was a tremendous year for fundraising thanks in large part to an anonymous $10 million gift. This extraordinary contribution was a highlight in the trend of overall increased giving to the School. We are thrilled with what the future holds, especially through our comprehensive campaign, thanks to the generosity of donors such as you.
Of course, the good news isn’t all financial. The 2016-17 year brought many other milestones and encouraging accolades. For example, J.T. Rogers, who graduated from the School of Drama in 1990, brought home the Tony for Best New Play for “Oslo.” The play starred Drama alumna Jennifer Ehle, ’88, who was also nominated for her work.
Our students are also working to make a positive impact on the world around us. For example, Sami Eudy, ’17, who received her master’s degree in the School of Music, used her time on campus to bring classical music into the lives of new audiences by establishing the Cross the Line project. Elsewhere on campus, initiatives like ArtistCorps, the medical wig project and school outreach programs are enhancing our community and our world.
UNCSA is also a place where groundbreaking art is created and new audience experiences are pioneered. Last summer, the School of Dance began its Choreographic Institute, an initia-tive that brings innovative choreographers and dancers to campus to develop and premiere original works. The Schools of Filmmaking and Design & Production, meanwhile, are on the leading edge of technologies such as virtual reality and animatronics. Their work will be further enhanced through the establishment of the Institute for Performance Innovation, supported by the transformative $10 million gift.
There are many other noteworthy items included in the report. The most important thing to take away, however, is our sincere thanks. You—our parents, faculty, staff, volunteers, alumni, patrons and friends—have made UNCSA stronger through your generosity of spirit, time and resources, and we are proud to have you as partners.
Sincerely,
M. Lindsay BiermanChancellor
Dear Friends,On behalf of everyone at the UNCSA Foundation, I am honored to be able to share with you this report. We are very excited about the financial growth the university experienced over the previous fiscal year, and the overall upward fundraising trend we have seen over the last several years.
It is an honor to serve as president of the UNCSA Foundation Board of Directors, and we take very seriously our commitment to ensure a sound financial footing for this remarkable univer-sity. I am thrilled and humbled by the talent demonstrated by our students, and proud to work on their behalf so that the promise that our institution makes to our young artists—that they will learn to do what they love, and do it brilliantly—will continue to be fulfilled for generations to come.
This report contains lots of good news about the financial, artistic and academic health of the university. In addition to record-level fundraising, we saw a 10.8% increase in the market value of our endowment, as well as significant growth in new donors and alumni giving percentage.
Our students and alumni are achieving extraordinary things thanks to your support, from Tony Awards to Oscar nominations to many other forms of professional success. They cannot achieve what they do on talent alone. It takes hard work and dedication, and UNCSA students are among the hardest-working young people I have ever encountered. They have demon-strated time and again that, with our help, they can accomplish truly extraordinary things.
Thank you for supporting UNCSA and its students. Your generosity is making a lasting impact on our university, our community, our state and, ultimately, the artistic fabric of our entire society.
With warm regards,
James E. MartinPresidentUNCSA Foundation Board of Directors

Points of Pride
When playwright J.T. Rogers graduated from the School of Drama in 1990, he knew he was equipped to succeed on the world’s most prominent stages—but not without a lot of hard work.
The payoff to his hard work has arrived. J.T.’s work “Oslo” won the 2017 Tony Award for Best Play. A gripping drama about the negotiations that led to the 1993 Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, “Oslo” was hailed by The Washington Post as “hands down the best new play of the season.” The play featured Jennifer Ehle, Drama ’88, who won the Lortel Award and was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Actress.
The accolades go on: “Oslo” won the Drama Desk Award, the New York Drama Critics Award, the Drama League Award, the Lucille Lortel Award, the Outer Circle Critics Award and the Obie Award for outstanding play.
Though J.T. has now taken his place among America’s most prom-ising playwrights, he is quick to remind students that success is
neither magical nor instantaneous, but the result of patience, determination and work.
“When he came to visit a few years ago, he reminded us that there were a lot of lean years between school and the exciting opportu-nities he was enjoying, and he urged the students to stay true to the work,” says Carl Forsman, faculty member and former dean in the School of Drama. “We’ll all try to keep following his brave lead. I am sure there are great things ahead for J.T., and we’re grateful for his continuing support of the drama school.”
The creative and professional heights that J.T. and other UNCSA alumni are reaching are a part of a proud legacy defined not by talent alone, but by rigor, persistence and devotion to craft. While not every UNCSA graduate lands a Tony, the lessons they learn on our campus—thanks to outstanding faculty, fellow students and an engaged community of supporters—help them confront life’s challenges and seek out their own career-defining moments.

Training rooted in time-tested methods and techniques—the clas-sical model has undergirded our approach to educating and train-ing young artists from the very beginning. At the same time, our leadership and faculty constantly look for innovative ways to pro-vide meaningful experiences to modern audiences.
Thanks to a $10 million gift from an anonymous donor, we can lean into the future with even greater purpose. The gift will create the Institute for Performance Innovation, focused on developing cut-ting-edge training that changes the face of the arts and entertain-ment. The Institute will support the groundbreaking Animatronics Program in the School of Design & Production and advance our cutting-edge graduate program in Gaming and Virtual Reality in the School of Filmmaking.
Approximately half of the gift will be directed toward scholarships and faculty, with the balance providing an endowment to support infrastructure and operating expenses for the new programs. The gift “will enable us to offer classes in areas that are not offered
in any other school in the world, to train students in the fastest-growing markets in the entertainment industry,” Provost David English says.
“We are profoundly grateful for this transformative gift, and deep-ly moved by the donor’s guiding vision and passion for UNCSA,” Chancellor Lindsay Bierman says. “It allows us to develop new career pathways for our students through a future-focused labo-ratory where designers, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, actors, and artists of all kinds can reimagine, reinvent, and reshape arts experiences for 21st century audiences. I feel confident our donor will take great pride in what we accomplish through this extraordi-narily generous gift.”
Today’s artists face an unprecedented level of competition for au-dience attention, but the combination of refined artistic technique, meaningful storytelling and cutting-edge technology will help to ensure that our students and alumni can continue to create art that stands apart.
Nikyla Boxley didn’t always want to be an actor. With the goal of becoming a forensic anthropologist, the Detroit native applied to Cass Technical High School, an Inter-national Baccalaureate World School with an alumni list that includes Diana Ross, Della Reese and Lily Tomlin. There, she found a new path.
When her school staged a production of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In the Heights,” Nikyla’s friends suggested she audition. She’d been a dancer all her life, not an actor—but suddenly a passion for drama ignited.
One of her teachers was none other than Marilyn McCormick, winner of an Excellence in Theatre Education award, presented by the Tony Awards and Carnegie Mellon University. McCormick urged Nikyla to attend the National Unified Auditions in Chicago, where she was accepted to six drama programs.
Still, Nikyla wasn’t completely certain she wanted to attend an arts conservatory. Perhaps a more traditional university experience would provide her with more options for her future. Nevertheless, she visited UNCSA.
“I was instantly in love. The sense of family and com-munity, right from the start, was a beautiful experience.”
Now a third-year student, Nikyla has cultivated a community of fellow students and trusted mentors. “It’s a very rigorous program,” she says. “You’ve got a lot of hard days, and sometimes you need someone to say,
‘You’re enough.’ Krisha Marcano’s mentorship has kept me going.”
She also praises faculty member Quin Gordon. “He changed my acting career,” Nikyla says. “Learning how to be yourself and adding technique on top of that has been an amazing thing.”
Like many UNCSA students, Nikyla’s journey would not have been possible without scholarship support. Her mother, a public school teacher, has multiple sclerosis; she became unable to work.
Thanks to UNCSA donors, however, her scholarship support has increased each year. Now, her education is almost completely covered. “I’m forever grateful for all those who support scholarships,” Nikyla says. “I have no words to ever repay them.”
As her training continues, Nikyla is looking forward to some of the upcoming productions and the chance to be a part of telling new stories.
“We’re doing a crazy play right now that’s like nothing I’ve ever seen at this school before,” Nikyla says. Lisa D’Amour’s “Airline Highway” is set in a seedy motel in post-Katrina New Orleans. It’s a story about people on the fringe of society.
“I want to keep doing things like that: plays about people who are forgotten.”

#5School of Music in the nation The Hollywood Reporter 2016
Eva WetzelSchool of MusicClass of 2018
Eva Wetzel has always had a musical instrument in her hand. “I started piano when I was three and vi-olin when I was four,” Eva says. “I’ve taken organ, voice, trumpet, and clarinet lessons too.”
Growing up in small town near Weimar, Germany, Eva was surrounded by music. Her mother taught piano and recorder, and her older siblings played the violin and cello. “My plan was to learn every in-strument, but at some point that was too much,” Eva says with a laugh.
When she was eight, she met someone who set the course for her future in the arts: violin legend and UNCSA faculty member Ida Bieler. As high school approached, Eva auditioned for Bieler’s violin pro-gram in Germany. Bieler introduced her to UNCSA.
She enrolled in the High School program her senior year with the intention of returning to Germany to continue her training, but UNCSA helped her hone her craft more than she had imagined.
“In my senior year, I improved more than I had any time before because I was surrounded by music.”
Many of the programs back home were integrated into larger institutions with classes in a number of
non-artistic fields, and the music conservatories included performers of many ages and experience levels. She found she preferred what UNCSA of-fers—a close-knit environment among her peers.
“Here you don’t have to deal with travel and taking the train and all that. You wake up, walk two min-utes, and there’s all your friends who also need to practice six hours a day and understand the journey you’re on.”
In addition to the many classical performances that have moved her in her time at UNCSA, she’s enjoyed taking part in opera performances and musicals such as the 2015 performance of “Guys and Dolls.” Through UNCSA connections, she was also able to take part in last summer’s Aspen Music Festival.
“I got to work with some wonderful musicians and conductors, and the school made it possible.”
After graduation, Eva plans to return to Europe, at least for a while. She is grateful for the lessons she has learned and the scholarship donors who made her time at UNCSA possible. “I don’t think I could have finished my last three years without scholarships.”
Eva also notes that she has received enormous moral support from scholarship donors such as Bill and Judy Watson, who attend her performances and send her encouraging messages. “It’s not just the money. They’re very supportive. It’s personal.”

Master’s graduate Sami Eudy spent just two years on UNCSA’s campus, but her efforts to bring music to those who may never have experienced it will reverberate through local communities for years to come.
A 2017 graduate of the School of Music’s M.M. in Flute Perfor-mance program, Sami started the Cross the Line (CTL) project, which challenges UNCSA students to “break the fourth wall and to cross the line between audiences and classical musi-cians,” Sami says. Like many UNCSA students and alumni, she’s driven to expose new audiences to meaningful art.
She started CTL during her first year on campus. “I felt like there was a niche that needed to be filled in Winston-Salem to connect musicians with the community. I wanted to find creative ways for people to have positive experiences with classical music.”
During the 2016-17 season, CTL received grants from the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, Wells Fargo and the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Sixty-five UNCSA musicians took part in the program, gaining valuable performance experience, and approximately 750 audience members experienced music that may have been new to them. In addition, CTL brought Grammy Award-winning artist Matt Albert to UNCSA for a spring residency, during which he taught master classes, gave lessons and worked with both seminar classes and student composers.
“I love that CTL is student-run, student-driven and structured to evolve as the needs of the student and community change,” Sami says. “We had an incredible number of students apply for the Student Executive Board for the 2017-18 season and I am excited to watch as the new leadership continues to de-velop the mission and potential of this organization.”
BUILDING COMMUNITY AROUND CLASSICAL MUSIC

Greg Hamilton grew up just fifteen minutes from the UNCSA cam-pus, but he never imagined himself attending until late in his senior year. In fact, he didn’t even know the school existed.
A native of High Point, Greg was exposed to dance from an early age through dance ministries at his church, but he never found many opportunities to directly participate.
As middle school approached, Greg enrolled at an arts magnet school for grades 6-12. “In sixth grade I was thrown into dance class and I started learning lots of new things,” he says. “But I didn’t get serious about it until high school.” His dance teacher focused on exercises based on the work of ear-ly 20th-century choreographer Lester Horton. “It was also heavi-ly influenced by West African tradition,” Greg adds. “It was really funky. Really cool.”
When it came time to apply to colleges, Greg selected several tra-ditional, four-year universities. “I was very uneducated about art schools,” Greg says. “I didn’t really know what type of school I needed to be looking into to perfect my craft.”
“My dance teacher pulled me aside and said, ‘Do you really want to do this seriously? Is dance what you want to do? Because it’s not looking like it.’” His teacher told him to look into UNCSA. “I
remember thinking that I couldn’t believe a place this beautiful ex-isted so close to home,” Greg says.
After being accepted to study contemporary dance, Greg was deter-mined to learn everything he could from both faculty members and fellow students. “I was very curious as a freshman and sophomore. I’m still very curious,” he says. “I would watch the third year class and the fourth year class and I would see how hard they worked.”
He was fascinated by the work ethic of one person in particular: Savannah Spratt, a 2016 graduate who is now a company member in the Limón Dance Company. “If a choreographer called her to do a certain part, she’d work on that, but even after that moment of focus was on her, she’d still be on the sidelines rehearsing or work-ing on something,” Greg recalls. “That really inspired me.”
His own hard work has been recognized through merit-based scholarships. “I believe you never stop growing and that there’s always something else that can be achieved,” Greg says. “Yes, you’ve done this step a million times, but there’s always something new that you can learn about that one simple step.”
What’s next for Greg? “My plan is to move to New York and au-dition for everything,” he says. “I’m going to be present, try hard, and hope for the best. I’m nervous, but really excited because I feel very prepared.”
WHERE SUMMERS GET INTENSE IN THE BEST OF WAYS
During the summer, our campus never sleeps. Eager to immerse them-selves in classical technique and innovative approaches to arts educa-tion, artists from all over the United States and around the world make their way to Winston-Salem for Summer Intensives.
In the summer of 2017, however, participants in the School of Dance’s summer programs were exposed to something brand new: well-estab-lished and emerging choreographers creating fresh works as a part of the Choreographic Institute.
“The Choreographic Institute is an example of innovative programs and curricula that will propel UNCSA to the forefront of performing arts and media education in the United States,” Chancellor Lindsay Bierman says.
The Institute includes two programs—the Choreographic Development Residency for up-and-coming choreographers still early in their careers, and the Choreographic Professional Residency for seasoned contempo-rary ballet choreographers.
Participants in the Choreographic Development Residency received mentoring from Visiting Distinguished Artist Helen Pickett, a dancer, ac-tress and resident choreographer for Atlanta Ballet. They participated in daily technique classes, workshops and lectures led by Summer Dance faculty and guests, held afternoon rehearsals with their cast of dancers selected from the Summer Dance Intensives, and enjoyed evening ac-cess to UNCSA’s studios for further choreographic research.
The choreographers were excited to work with Summer Intensive par-ticipants, which included 16 dancers from Japan. The collaboration be-tween these promising choreographers and talented dancers culminated in a world premiere of the works at the Stevens Center on July 21.
Meanwhile, Susan Jaffe and Ethan Stiefel, both former principal dancers of American Ballet Theatre, were the first participants in the Choreo-graphic Professional Residency. They worked with professional dancers who were in residence on campus for two weeks.
“This intimate setting [allowed] us to work deeply and collaboratively with the dancers to either research choreographic ideas or build towards a new work,” Jaffe says.
The Choreographic Institute is a reminder that while UNCSA will always be a place of careful study rooted in classical training, it is also a place where originality and artistic exploration are encouraged. The choreogra-phers and dancers who participated in the inaugural Institute came away with inspiring new work refined through collaboration and the experience of creating and honing new art. Meanwhile, audiences in Winston-Salem and around the world gained a fresh artistic perspective from some of the industry’s most talented choreographers.

UNCSA artists are prepared to succeed on all kinds of stages and screens. Our students and alumni demonstrate that through hard work and refined technique, they know how to make our world more interesting, more beautiful and more meaningful—whether at Carnegie Hall, the Stevens Center, a corporate boardroom or, as we saw not too long ago, the White House.
In October 2016, students, faculty and alumni in the School of Design and Production (D&P) headed to the South Lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to assist with an event hosted by former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama: the annual party for children of military-affiliated families.
Fourteen D&P students, a handful of faculty members, and about a half-dozen alumni volunteered to create a storybook landscape with decorations, life-sized puppets, a trampoline with aerial performers, and more. As a centerpiece, the South Portico of the
White House—where the President and First Lady greeted their guests and passed out treats—was decorated in an “Alice in Wonderland” theme. The D&P participants then donned costumes and took an active role in setting the scene.
“We developed the narrative concept from top to bottom,” Dean Michael J. Kelley says. “And we transformed the South Lawn of the White House into a literary fantasy land using scenery and props, lighting, costumes, wigs and makeup, and sound tracks. Just about all the disciplines taught in the School of Design and Production were involved.”
“It was an absolute honor and privilege to have worked on this with students, faculty, and my fellow alumni,” says Kim Ross, a 2011 graduate of D&P’s Stage Properties program. Kim served as the project manager. “The impact from this experience is immeasur-able, and all of our lives have been changed because of it.”
