ABOUT US
ALICIA BIRDER, Executive/Artistic Director
Alicia is Executive & Artistic Director of Birder Studio of Performing Arts, a 501©3 non-profit
studio of performing arts. Alicia launched Birder Studio in 2010 to continue to develop arts
education and entertainment for our community in hopes of nurturing creative, collaborative and
well-rounded performers. Birder Studio programming is based on Alicia’s belief that all children
should have the opportunity to experience the joy and thrill of the theatre and live performing.
From this experience, they will gain artistic and social maturity.
OUR MISSION: TO EDUCATE, INSPIRE, CREATE, ACHIEVE!
Our artistic educational program is for students of all ages and levels in the performing arts. It instills confidence, creativity and
discipline. The training program includes musical theatre, acting, voice, jazz, ballet, tap, lyrical, Irish dance, ballroom dance, piano,
music theory, stage management, yoga and dance cardio. Our professional staff welcomes you to visit!
OUR CAUSE: ARTS EDUCATION FOR ALL
We are committed to providing a secure foundation in the arts for both children and adults. As a 501©3 non-profit organization, we
seek to make arts education accessible and affordable to all youth in the Greater Green Bay Area. Through our scholarships and
community outreach efforts, donations help us provide live entertainment and arts education to those who would not otherwise
experience it.
OUR VISION: AN ARTS INSPIRED COMMUNITY
We hope that our programming not only instills a love and appreciation for the performing arts in our community, but also an adept
understanding of artistic influence. We envision live entertainment and arts education accessibility for adults and children alike. In
this digital era, we hope to inspire our community’s professional & personal lives by fostering a community-centered artistic
culture.
