"It is a compliment when no child asks about having a snack or going to the bathroom for
two hours!"

Pumpkin Delight Elementary School

"Every child at every grade level seemed totally engrossed in the activities!  There was
something to interest everyone.  In my opinion it was the best Artist- In- Residence program
ever!"


Ronni Newton, PTO President,
Webster Hill Elementary School, West Hartford

Circus Gymnasium
(Grades K-12)
Students explore physically challenging and exciting circus skills such as
juggling, balancing, stilt walking, plate-spinning, and unicycling!  This workshop
can be done with either a physical education and/or performing arts focus.


Mask Theater
(Grades PreK-12)
Students explore the cultural history of masks; design and create their own
masks; and learn how actors "support" their masks through movement and
physical expression.  Optional emphasis on Greek drama.


Math Magic
(Grades 3-8)
Applying math, communication, and planning skills, students learn the basics of
performance magic as they make and perfect their own tricks.  Language
arts/history curricular tie-ins optional.


Trash-To-Treasure Masks
(Grades K-3)
To foster environmental awareness, students design animal masks out of
materials normally thrown away.  Using the masks they created, students
explore movement by acting out their animals.


Dinosaur Dig
(Grades PreK-3)
Using shovels and brushes, students dig through tubs for wooden “fossils”,
discovering, reconstructing, and naming a dinosaur right out of their own
imagination.  Students use deductive thinking to determine their dinosaur’s
characteristics, e.g., herbivore or carnivore, flying or swimming, etc.
