Programs

Creative Expression:  

Our creative expression program will combine music, dance, acting, and spoken word instruction with project-based learning. Our program is designed to teach a variety of art forms to individuals at all levels by engagement through use of historical research, application, and open expression. Our goal is to give individuals a comprehensive understanding of various forms of music, dance, acting and spoken word. While all of our programs cater to enhancing the intellect youth, here they’ll learn the importance of also feeding their creativity through actively using and building their inner artist

 

Spoken Word (Poetry): Youth will engage in 8-week instructional program, where they’ll learn the origins, and variety of context and influence within spoken word. They’ll be provided the direction and tools necessary to create their own unique pieces of work, which they will later showcase.

Launching in in January 2017
