Olchar Lindsann and Brian Counihan spoke about their creative processes/work at CHS as part of a speaker series at VT’s Moss Arts Center.
In a series of 45-minute chats, the Moss Arts Center gave an exclusive look inside the homes and studios of these [Southwest Virginia] artists where we experienced their work, asked questions, and discussed how creative luminaries are approaching art in this moment.

At the Virginia Theater Association conference this fall, senior Olivia L attended stage combat, filmmaking, networking, and other fun actor workshops. Les helped Olivia rehearse a 60-second monologue that landed her 14 callbacks from prospective colleges, allowing her the opportunity to chat directly with professors from each college about their theater programs. She individually workshopped with professors from Christopher Newport Univerisy and Virgina Tech on her monologue, and also worked on making connections with scene partners with professors from James Madison University. She also earned two scholarship offers from Randolph College and Rowan University!“a really useful experience for me to learn more about certain colleges and their theater programs. I connected with a lot of the professors that I met and even went on tours and attended theater major days for colleges that I was interested in at [the conference].”
It was a beautiful day to make music outside.
The work of the creative QuarantZine team has received outside recognition! The first two issues of their publication were reviewed in the new issue of Asymmetrical Anti-Media, a quarterly zine that reviews dozens of other zines. Olchar has even been contacted with requests for copies. Well done!
Rising Senior Lucy B. gave herself an ink challenge during quarantine and it was featured by #ArtinRoanoke. Her work here is based on a series of words in Scots-Gaelic (which she’s been studying for the past year or so).
