"The function of art is to do more than to tell it like it is – it is to imagine what is possible."

Research suggests that creative performance art (i.e., theatre/circus), when used in conjunction with other proven methods of scientific inquiry, is especially effective in enhancing students’ learning and retention of science between Kindergarten and grade six. The programs offered here incorporate a dramatic arts-based pedagogy that aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and/or Pennsylvania Core Standards. In each program, the kinesthetics and props of circus arts serve as models in a reimagined portrayal of academic content.

Each program is adaptable for a broad range of venues and ages. Perfect for classrooms, libraries, community centers, and intimate theatres.
