THE EDUCATION DIVISION

Working closely with administrators and teachers has enabled us to construct a standards-based Arts Education program that will satisfy academic needs as well as artistic enrichment.

• ARTISTIC PERCEPTION - Processing, analyzing and responding to the arts
• Following all performances Will & Company artists lead a Question and Answer session. At the conclusion of each workshop, participants evaluate and respond to learning in the session.


• CREATIVE EXPRESSION - Creating, performing and participating in the arts
• Students from your school are invited to participate in the performance! Will & Company artists train your students, give them a costume piece and they perform alongside professional artists! * Workshops are interactive and hands-on. Long-term residencies include a student culmination


• HISTORICAL & CULTURAL CONTEXT - Contributions and dimensions of the arts, past & present
