Part of this program includes collaborating with several performers to offer educational and community outreach programs to K-12 schools through workshops, residencies, assemblies, professional development, and supplemental educational materials. Also available are programs geared toward university and college Anthropology and Dance Lecture Series, Childrens Museums and Library presentations.
