[Ohiogift] Theater and dance summer resources

[Art Snyder]

Everyone: In reading the Washington Post today, I was reminded of a number of excellent resources this summer for many gifted ed students with an interest in drama, dance, theater, play-writing, ballet and related performing arts. Resources are listed and linked below:
    
   - The Hamilton Education Program, a partnership between the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and the producers of the “Hamilton” musical, is offering free access through August to EduHam at Home, a family version of its online education program. Students can study primary source documents from the era, learn how Lin-Manuel Miranda used similar documents to create the musical, and create their own performance pieces based on that material. The program includes videos from “Hamilton” and its cast members, interviews with Miranda and more.
   - The New York City Ballet will broadcast full ballets and excerpts on YouTube, Facebook and its website, and it will host ballet-inspired movement workshops. A 20-minute, Saturday-morning Zoom workshop for kids ages 3 to 8 requires advance registration.
   - KIDZ BOP offers dance-along videos that can encourage the incorporation of music and movement in daily routines.
   - Crash Course’s series of 50 videos go through the history, theory and technology behind theater, mimicking an introductory college-level course.
   - Daniella Ballerina’s YouTube videos present easy-to-follow, engaging ballet lessons for preschoolers.
   - PBS Learning Media features theater resources that include almost 300 videos (including workshops and behind-the-scenes peeks), interactive games and lesson plans.
   - Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis is offering virtual resources for both students and parents, including weekly video series and educational tips.
   - Broadway Educators is offering free educational materials for those teaching or learning about theater. The resources, for all ages, can be broken down by discipline, education level, content type and category.
   - Imagination Stage offers at-home creative challenges, ideas and activities free on their blog, including a follow-along dance moves video from Tiffany Quinn, the choreographer of their production “Zomo the Rabbit: A Hip-Hop Creation Myth.”
   - In addition to their regular free resources and articles, the Educational Theatre Association has temporarily opened its Theatre Educator Pro resources to everyone.
   - Black Box Education has compiled a free list of resources for those teaching drama at home.
   - The Kennedy Center is offering comprehensive theater lesson plans that can be narrowed down by content and grade level.
