Grades 6-8

Students dig into the messages on social media, especially how these affect their personal lives and choices. They discuss topics like: Are all media messages made up? How do media messages shape our views? What are the commercial consequences of social media content? 

Finally, they create a multimedia presentation using movement, music and digital media, sharing their discoveries with classmates.

Turning The Triangle

Grades 3-5

Using oversize protractors and their bodies, students learn about angles, polygons, and the like. 

Then they apply these concepts to their own bodies in motion – in an immersive, physical program involving turning, jumping, and walking in varied shapes. Students create dances for a final “info-rmance” thus acquainting themselves with patterns, symmetry, and hierarchy. A fun way to develop flexible thinking! Guest appearance by SPDC company dancers available to heighten the experience of live performance. Learn more here.

Waves – Sound and Light

Grades 2-5

Students learn about vibration; how sound can travel through some objects but not others; how things are opaque, translucent, or transparent to light; how transparent things refract light, and all that. 

They ponder questions like “How can we use light and sound to express emotions and feelings?” “Why do some sounds irritate us while others soothe us?” “Why do some colors sadden while others gladden?”
 
They interpret age-appropriate stories, using movement, text, music, and lighting. We can add stage lighting to enhance the learning experience.
