Project Description

Hello from PPAC23!

My name is Alison Levenberg and I am the Founder and Director of PPAC23.

Please read on to find out more about the goals of PPAC23 and why YOUR support is vital to the realization of a progressive and important vision for the future of the arts and young performing artists.

Welcome page for PPAC23.com

 

  • PPAC23 is a 2yr Conservatory education which puts young adults out into the workplace expeditiously, but with intense training and at the same level of expertise as a graduate with a degree. A degree program isn't for everyone.  I myself had a conservatory education and a very successful Broadway career, as have many others.  A performer is in their prime in their younger years. Financial situations are also tightened with our current economic climate and our 2yr course is favorable to a student who doesn't want to accrue large amounts of debt in order to hone their skills and pursue their career.

 

To provide the inspiration, technique, knowledge, and support to begin a successful career in the performing arts through the highest standards of training, community integration, and professional work ethic, in a physically and emotionally nurturing environment.
Mission Statement

 INSPIRE. EXCEL. SUCCEED.

  • PPAC23 provides impeccable training from educators with vast professional experience.  Training is intense and diverse with an emphasis on career longevity, versatility and individuality.  PPAC23 is purposely capping the enrollment in order to provide the students with the type of attention that they would not get in a traditional college or university setting. Among many other facets such as acting and vocal coaching, the curriculum includes teacher training and a certification from the International Dance Council upon completion of the Dance Anatomy, Injury Prevention, Motor Learning and Dance Kinesiology courses.

 

PPAC23 is seeking funding for the interior renovation of a building.  There is the potential for a great location (location location location!) but it's a shell and it needs a lot of work.  Students training intensively need purpose built sprung floors for injury prevention which will cost upwards of $35,000 for the square footage the studio will need.  The crowdfunding I raise will go directly to these essential floors and also equipment to support the physical health of my students.  It is imperative that the physicality of these young performers is protected as they embark on their intense training at PPAC23.

INSPIRE - students passion   EXCEL - impeccable training   SUCCEED - with the tools for career longevity.

 

  • The building I have found (well, it found me, but that's another long and fortuitous story!) is in an amazing city-lead rejuvenation project which has an emphasis on the Arts.  A new performing arts centre is being built along with many other cultural improvements.  The timing of my business opening along with this project is in perfect alignment. Not only will this space serve my students, but it will also serve the direct locale to provide an injection of energy and creative community inspiration.

 

  • I am the sole owner of PPAC23.  I am honored to have the support of our Patron, Warren Carlyle who is a Tony Award winning director and choreographer.  My faculty and master guest teachers will include industry professionals.

The Campaign FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Where is PPAC23 located?

PPAC23 is located in the vibrant coastal city of Myrtle Beach, SC.  I am currently working on securing our studio location and that will be finalized in the next couple of months.

  • What makes PPAC23 unique?

Our enrollment is limited and our training is world class.  Intensive education, individual coaching, inspiring educators and impeccable standards.  PPAC23 will expedite our students journey to their Broadway career.

  • Why should I donate to the start up of PPAC23?

The progress of integrating the Arts into any community is a cause worthy of support. Here in Myrtle Beach there is a rejuvenation project underway which I am thrilled to have the opportunity for PPAC23 to be a part of.

Your donation will pay it forward in may ways - for the enrichment of a community and for our students physical well being and ultimately success in their chosen career.  

(As mentioned, donation money will go directly to the installation of purpose built sprung floors for injury prevention as part of the building renovations)
