The mission of Tavaci Inc. is to provide an educational program designed to teach the performing arts to children in a way that will help them develop invaluable life skills. We believe that the self-esteem, the creative abilities, the communication skills and the ultimate success of children will be enhanced through the study of music, drama, and performance under the direction of trained and dedicated Tavaci instructors.
Kim Lake participated in Tavaci from age 5-12 which sparked her adoration for performing and being on stage. She has had so much fun fulfilling her dream of bringing Tavaci to children and families. She loves seeing joy on her students' faces as they improve their skills, grow their confidence, and have fun performing!
Kim graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Weber State University. She loves being involved in Musicals. Her favorite roles include: Cinderella (Into the Woods), Kala (Tarzan), Ida Strauss (Titanic), and Tzeitl (Fiddler on the Roof).
Kim has Music Directed for the Kids Act Up summer camp at Peery's Egyptian Theatre. She loves collaborating with astonishing professionals and getting to work with the kids! She has also completed Alicia Olotuja's "Vocal Breakthrough Academy" twice and Jenny Erickson's "Rejuvenating your voice" class parts 1 and 2.
Kim believes that art is for everybody, from the novice to the professional. It brings people together in a way that nothing else can. She has found healing and has seen others be connected through creating art.
Kim loves spending time with her family, enjoying a good story, helping her students find their true voice, and enjoying the wonders in life!
