The workshop was amazing! The integration of deep political issues into performance and body movement gave me tremendous insight into how I will organize my own curriculum with students.”

Bridging the Bay Regional After School Conference

 San Francisco, CA

Often a teacher or teaching artist comes in with their expertise but, has no understanding of creating community in the classroom. Establishing this first allows for deeper creativity by the group as a whole, the individuals in the group begin to trust themselves and their classmates now colleagues; the group takes ownership of the process and their learning experience. With Destiny Arts Center’s Sarah Crowell’s heartfelt and compassionate, clear leadership, learning is taken to a deeper and broader level. She highlights teaching moments, moments where we can guide the students to their next level of ability. I left her workshop feeling inspired and excited for the new year of “teaching” to begin.”
