Bring
Long Wharf Theatre into your school. We create an environment of
discovery where students are able to explore the issues surrounding
their personal lives as well as their placement in local and global
communities.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Residencies take place in your school 3 days a week, and are
easily adaptable for any space: classroom, theatre, etc.
HOW
DOES IT WORK?
There are 3 ways to bring artists from Long Wharf Theatre into
your classroom.
1. Student Theatre Series residencies: Bring
us to you before you come to us! Three weeks with a Long Wharf
Theatre Teaching Artist helps deepen the theatergoing experience
for your students.
2. Make a curriculum connection! Choose from
the residency menu described below, or work with us to design your
school's own individual experience.
3. Already have a busy schedule? Long Wharf
Theatre teaching artists are also available for 1- to 3-day classroom
experiences.
Two meetings between LWT staff and the classroom instructor
are required before the start of each residency to ensure the
best possible experience for you and your students.
