Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants explored social justice, individual identity, and group collaboration through creative movement. They created brief stop-motion animation stories on iPads and enjoyed a bilingual puppet show in celebration of Day of the Dead. Said one patron: "The concept of using motion and dance to show how our bodies and interactions affect other people is really cool. Thank you for having this program!"
