Theme: "Spirit of the Story"

 

What does this theme suggest to you?  How does story play a role in the work we do in the Arts?  The Arts allow us to communicate with each other in many different forms and through all kinds of media, including the body and voice. Stories may be personal, historical, narrative or fantastical - as we share the story, we share ourselves.

 

 

Our Goal

 

The goal of the this project is threefold:

1. to bring artists into the classroom, to share their work, their passion with students and teachers
2. to work in a collaborative manner that invites us to share with each other, and to include the teacher in the process
3. to build confidence in teachers as they continue the work with students, so that the artist visit may have a lasting impact on classroom practice
