One Week Artist in Residence
 
 

A dynamic program designed to incorporate music, art, drama and performance. I will begin the week with a performance showcasing the music and stories from Africa or Australia. Throughout the residency, I will spend time in each classroom teaching students songs, instrument making and playing, (Australia program will create their very own Didjeridoo's) storytelling and artwork from the ancient cultures. I will work with the students to prepare and present an inspiring, fun filled performance at the end of the residency. I have also developed a curriculum that compliments music, art, drama, science, language arts and social studies. A residency can be planned and designed to meet the needs of your school.
