Residency Programs
A residency is a series of immersive workshops with a teaching artist for a classroom of students that are customizable and tailored to your school’s needs.
Over the course of the residency, students will take a deeper dive into learning an artform as the teaching artist builds upon each session, focusing on a larger concept, goal, or throughline.
