Workshops give students, parents and teachers the opportunity to learn new skills and work in a small group with a professional artist.
Workshops can be stand-alone to provide in-depth attention to one aspect of an art form; linked with a performance to provide both large group and participatory experiences for students; conducted with teachers to provide teaching tools for their classroom presentation; or in a workshop series with a core group of students and teachers for extended learning.
Young Audiences of Connecticut’s workshops run for one hour unless otherwise specified. Please see artists’ pages for details about specific workshops.
Young Audiences Arts for Learning Connecticut: Our mission is to integrate the arts into the lives of children in educational and community settings. Our vision for Connecticut is that all children realize their potential through the arts; that the arts are valued for their ability to improve our schools and communities; that, by participation in the arts, children come to understand and value themselves, their neighbors, and the world cultures they share.
