Let’s hear it for the arts!

Every day Hartford Performs programs gives students an opportunity to view their academic curriculum through the lens of the arts! They leave with greater understanding of the subject and new enthusiasm for learning.

If we want writers to follow in the footsteps of Toni Morrison, Amanda Gorman and Elie Wiesel, we need to offer students programming like Poetry Alive! with Teaching Artist Leslie Johnson. "Poetry Alive!" actively involves students in writing original poetry and performing it in the classroom with "poetry theater" techniques. "Poetry Alive!" workshops are designed with the "multiple intelligences" to engage students with diverse learning styles and to enliven the writing process. Leslie inspires, guides, and celebrates the writing process in each interactive session.

Help Hartford Performs continue to offer quality programming to students in the Hartford Public Schools by making a donation on Giving Tuesday. You don’t have to wait until Giving Tuesday to make an impact. All donations given between today and November 28th will be counted toward our goal!

If we want mathemeticians and inventors to follow in the footsteps of Albert Einstein, Katherine Johnson, and Hedy Lamarr, we need to offer students programming like Dramatic Geometry with Barbara Washer. In Dramatic Geometry students explore the application of math in set design, on paper and on their feet. Participants experience a balance of ease and challenge, choice and structure, movement and table work, personal exploration and group collaboration throughout the creative process.

Let’s hear it for the arts!

By integrating the arts into the academic classroom, Hartford Performs gives students of all learning styles a deeper understanding of the daily curriculum and injects energy and enthusiasm into the school day.

If we want scientists to follow in the footsteps of Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking and Steve Jobs, we need to offer students programming like Sound and Light with Teaching Artist Sonia Plumb. Sonia introduces sounds and music from different genres and uses them to explore emotion, space and time. She engages the students in an exploration of light and shadows. The students complete the residency by telling a story using sound, light, and movement bringing these scientific concepts to life through dance!

If we want anthropologists to follow in the footsteps of Jane Goodall, Margaret Meade, and Zora Neale Hurston, we need to offer students programming like Indigenous Roots: Music of the Americas with Teaching Artist Mixashawn Rozie. Mixashawn performs examples of “American” music: Indigenous, Afro Caribbean, Blues, and Jazz, using the music as a tool to understand how music reflects various ethnicities and nationalities.
