As we thaw out from this winter, VSA kicks off the spring with an innovative program for teaching artists and classroom teachers. Embodying Literacy - Early Childhood is a three-part workshop series that provides early childhood educators a unique opportunity to enhance and infuse their skill set with drama and dance integration strategies that support early literacy learning for students. Each workshop will give teachers the opportunity to brainstorm ways to adapt these activities and processes to use in their own practice.
Workshop #1: Entering Text
Tuesday, March 17, 2015 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm

Workshop #2: Creating Text
Monday, March 30, 2015 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm
Explore movement and drama vocabulary as a vehicle to embody stories and how processes involved in drama and dance offer connections to text.
