"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."
