Book to Bravo!
Focusing on a story from their academic curriculum, students use interpretative skills and their own imaginative voices to bring literature to life through music and theater. Based in students’ English Language Arts or Social Studies curricula, this program integrates easily into the classroom and builds critical thinking and collaborative skills while encouraging students to step into someone else’s shoes.

Voices for Social Justice
Students create a musical story based on the challenges they face every day in their neighborhoods, communities, and greater society. Focusing on positive conflict resolution, they envision non-violent ways to deal with concerns and obstacles, and they put their energy toward an artistic creation that shows the power music and theater have to reflect upon and generate change in a dynamic world. Their original works, meaningful and authentic, allow students to form compassionate opinions and express their true voices in important ways.

Creativity & Wellness
A six week musical workshop using artistic creativity, health and wellness as the foundation of good practice in any discipline. Focusing on relationships, responsibility, communication, self-esteem and self-care/regulation/representation, students will practice identifying core beliefs and principles in themselves and in classic opera characters while crafting original creative works.
