Interlochen Center for the Arts 2020 Annual Report

“I can’t think of a more beautiful setting to inspire future generations of performing artists. It brings me great joy to be able to help support the dreams and aspirations of all those who will grace the magical grounds of Interlochen in years to come.” — Cate Caplin (IAC 69-71, IAC Fac 18-19) Dedicated to the Art of Movement

Cate Caplin’s own dance roots are at Interlochen. For two memorable summers, she cultivated her passion in that beloved dance building by the lake. A professional dancer, choreographer, director, and producer, Cate's work includes hundreds of productions from film and musical theatre to dramatic classics. Whether working at the Paris Opera House or on a Broadway stage, Cate cherishes the impact of Interlochen. Cate’s experience came full-circle when she returned to Interlochen in the summers of 2018 and 2019 as Camp faculty, investing her professional expertise directing and choreographing the High School Musical Theatre Golden Age Revue and teaching daily master classes. While on campus, she experienced student needs first-hand, as well as faculty and guest artist challenges in the historic space. When Cate learned of the effort to give dance a new home, she stepped forward with a significant personal commitment—as the last leadership gift needed to reach the $6.9 million fundraising goal. Because of Cate and her family's support, along with many generous donors, this new center dedicated to the art of movement will pulse with the rhythm of the pines, the waves of the lake, and the inspired energy of young dancers for generations to come.
