The Heritage Project uses creative movement to engage Jr. High and middle school-aged students in the exploration of personal histories, cultural experiences, and the tangible/intangibles of heritage. With an RDT dance educator, students learn about movement/choreographic principles and discuss the artistic process. Students then engage in oral and written storytelling through dialogue and writing exercises. Using the creative process, teamwork, and coaching, students memorialize his/her story in a movement study; all are woven into an original piece with music to be performed in their school concert and showcased at the Rose Wagner Center on May 9, 2023 in the Jeanne Wagner Theater at the annual Heritage Project Showcase.
