Harnessing the power of art as a tool for self and community reflection and expression, the STooPS Educational Program will introduce students to several incredible art forms. It will also show them how art is a vehicle for forming connections. Through many areas of study (dance, music, theater, poetry/spoken word, visual art, storytelling, and more) students will learn new artistic techniques, develop their creative voices and talents, as well as discover ways to integrate their own culture and community into their practice. Our talented teaching artists can offer a variety of workshops in different artistic forms or are available to customize a workshop/residency suited to the interests and themes of your community.
“STooPS curated a profoundly strong roster of dynamic programs featuring visual arts, dance, and storytelling that created deeply engaging experiences with our family audiences.
STooPS’ programs celebrated local artistic voices woven together with stories from the broader African diaspora to create a meaningful and fun experience where everyone who participated could have an understanding of what Black Future Festival is and can be.”
