LIVE-STREAMED RESIDENCIES

Spark imagination and use the arts to tap into children’s innate desire for active, multisensory learning!

Literacy and STEM-based residencies guide and support educators and their students by integrating the arts into teaching and providing joyful, active learning experiences.

• Daily sessions build off of the previous day's lesson to enhance learning and connections, but teaching artists will reintroduce topics so you can follow along even if you have to miss a day!

• Each session will also include a quick arts strategy breakdown, allowing educators to consider how they can continue utilizing the arts in their daily sessions. All educators will receive a residency packet following each week of programming.

• Can't join us at the allotted residency time? No worries - the live streams will be available to view every day until 5 pm.

JUNE 7–11 Literacy Residencies

Residencies will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel and on our Facebook page!

JUNE 1–15 Rabbits and Sharks! Assembly

Rabbits and Sharks! Or Why Rabbits Have Short Fluffy Tails
Artist: Ali Oliver-Krueger
Art Form: Theatre

For generations, stories have been used to teach children important life lessons. In Japan, these folktales are called mukashibanashi, or “tales of long ago.” With Rabbits and Sharks, Ali Oliver-Krueger draws from her Japanese heritage to share her fun-filled reimagining of a classic mukashibanashi with help from the audience, who get to be actors right from where they are watching the show. Children learn along with Rabbit that it's just as important to be kind as it is to be smart...and one possible reason Rabbits have short fluffy tails today.

Assemblies will be accessible asynchronously through our web portal for two weeks from the start date of the assembly.
