"The Playground Project created art centered

around the experiences of students and the

community at large, using the playground as

both storytelling stage and aerial apparatus.

We led creative writing workshops with

Stratton Elementary students and then used

the material as a springboard for creating

movement, turning local stories into original

choreography.

One fulfilling aspect of The Playground Project

was our work teaching dance in the classroom,

where we saw big creative and emotional

growth among the students."
