Elm Street Promotes Siobhan Brumbelow to Associate Artistic Director Elm Street Cultural Arts Village (ESCAV) recently announced the promotion of Siobhan Brumbelow to associate artistic director. With this new position, Siobhan will have the opportunity to focus on the quality of productions at ESCAV and helping the organization grow artistically. Siobhan has transformed the education department at Elm Street. She made a commitment early to ensure that each student has an opportunity to grow, said Christopher Brazelton, the executive director of ESCAV. What has happened since has been marvelous to watch. Im excited to see her take that same enthusiasm to the entire theatre and be able to impact the community at large.Siobhan first began working with the organization on and off from 2002 until 2015. Her involvement began with what was originally the Towne Lake Arts Center. There, she contributed in a variety of ways, dedicating her time to managing education, organizing the improv comedy group, choreographing different shows, and many other tasks. In 2015, Siobhan came back in full power mode as Elm Streets education manager, helping them to grow their organization. However, as the organization began to expand, the demand for a consistent focus on the artistic side of things began to increase as well. This is a responsibility that, until Siobhans recent promotion, had been tackled amongst various job titles. The new title of associate artistic director aims to bring the productions at Elm Street to the next level hopefully acquiring a nearly professional level of performance within the community, ultimately contributing to their overall artistic growth. Its going to challenge me, as we are heading in a new, yet better direction. However, my artistic background makes me confident in handling the creative side of things, says Siobhan.Elm Street Cultural Arts Village was established in 2010 when the Towne Lake Arts Center relocated from their location off of Bells Ferry Road to downtown Woodstock after acquiring a four-acre lot. This lot is the current home of the historic Reeves House. The City of Woodstock bought the former site of Woodstock First Baptist Church and asked ESCAV to continue their role as a performing arts center within the space. Since then, ESCAV has been growing and developing themselves to encompass not only performing arts, but a plethora of different types of art. ESCAV strives to create an arts village within the community, incorporating culinary arts, visual arts, and accommodating other local performance groups and special events with their expanding facilities.
