Growth Mindset means to thrive on challenges and see failure as an opportunity to improve. This is the foundation of our philosophy in education as well as the core of our creative approach. 

We believe that students should be leaders both in the classroom and in their community. Members of Elev8 are encourage to take lead positions both in production and instruction, preparing them to be the future leaders they are. 

Members of Elev8 are catalysts of positive change in the community. During their residency, they will participate in conscious community growth in collaboration with many of our creative community partners. Such as Creative Greensboro, Guilford County Schools, A Collective of Excellence, ACOBE Fest, NC Folk Fest and many more.
