SPRINGBOARD RESIDENCY THEMES LITERACY INTEGRATION
Creating Context Building inference skills through dance, students will view, develop and interpret literature and choreography to support inference proficiency. Exploring Character Traits Using dance vocabulary, students will grow their ability to analyze character traits. Embodying character traits encourages students’ understanding of how to look for evidence and communicate intent.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Harvesting Hope Inspired by “Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez” by Kathleen Krull, students in this residency will address the importance of community, the struggles of immigration, and how to embody teamwork and leadership. Harlem Renaissance Inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, students will explore how art, culture, and dance mirror society. This residency builds on concepts of how art reflects life, and how artists depict their experiences. Students will brainstorm contemporary issues and share them through art, poetry, and dance.
SCIENCE CONNECTIONS
Force and Motion Students examine simple machine principles and cause-and-effect through improvisation and choreography. Students will gain deeper insight into the relationship between force and work, input and output. Our Changing Earth Through small-group improvisation, class discussion, and ensemble work, students will embody ideas about weathering and erosion, and brainstorm ways creative citizens impact the world around them. Conceptual Learning Students will gain new insights into familiar concepts like pattern, sequence and compare/contrast through dance and movement exploration.
CREATIVITY AND SEL
Dare to Fail Success involves risk, and failure is a part of learning. Through dance concepts and choreographic devices, students will grow in SEL by exploring the concepts of effort, struggle, perseverance, and risk-taking. Creative Choreography Adapting repertoire from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, students will use their experiences to build a new dance that is meaningful to them.
