Dance Together Separately

Our unique “dance-from-home” program introduces students to the foundations of modern dance theory in a series of short, fun videos.

Students use what they learn to create short solo routines connected by a theme and some simple props, then our arts educators stitch them together into a whole-class celebration of dance that can be shared with their families and community.

Available for Grades K-12


Sketch Comedy in the Digital Age

Collaborate via text and/or video to create a series of short, funny sketches exploring the many ways we use (and are used by) technology in the 2020’s. A great program for groups where not everyone has access to video.

Available for Grades 3-12.

Fashion from Nothing

This “make do” class lets students work with common objects found at home to create fashion accessories and turn old clothes in to new works of art. Students follow along with simple tutorials, and can choose to share their finished work in an optional on-line fashion show.

No needle and thread required! Available for Grades 5-12.


Puppetry on Screen

Turn every day objects in to characters with personality and a strong point of view. This course combines crafting, scrip-writing, and video or photographic storytelling.

Available for Grades K-12.
