Youth Performances

From theater to modern dance, the 11/12 Youth Performance Series features some of the world's best artists in performances that are sure to resonate powerfully with students. Teachers will receive a study guide for each performance they attend, as well as audio-visual resource materials, when available. These informative learning tools are designed to facilitate meaningful connections from the performance to the classroom curriculum.
