Arts Connection Let your imagination take you places! Presented by Karen Wilson Program Director What is Theatre For Youth and Outreach Program Open since 1988, the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts, Inc established the Theatre for Youth and Outreach Program (TFY) formerly known as Educational Theatre Program during the 1993-94 season. The program was developed and introduced to serve as a presenter of professionally produced touring theatrical productions geared to young audiences. In 1998 another component was added offering the first weeklong summer fine arts camp. This became a permanent feature of the TFY program. In 2000, the King Center introduced an artist in residence program and outreach opportunities at various community venues. The outreach component of the TFY program was added with the goal of serving residents and children in the community that are unable to experience programs held at the King Center. Community venues include but are not limited to, organizations that serve persons with disabilities, senior residents, youth at risk organizations, public schools, private schools, and alternative programs for youth. Currently the King Center works in partnership with 21st Century Afterschool Program, a program of the Brevard County Public School District to include offerings in the performing arts. Over three hundred students first through sixth grade benefit from this effort. Outreach efforts aligns with community “prevention strategies” to include theatre and the performing arts. Organizations that have benefited include Club Esteem, an alternative afterschool program, and Brevard County Child Care Association as well as several Brevard County Public Schools. Artist in residence program provides children the opportunity to access master teachers in the field of the performing arts. Opportunities that are available for participating students to be incorporated into professionally produced work presented on the King Center main stage or other community venues. The King Center has continued to cultivate various partnerships within the community and has demonstrated sustainability through its’ collaborative efforts. 2 The Importance of Arts Integration NEW APPROACH TO TEACHING STRENGHTEN LEARNING OBJECTIVES CONNECTS TO SUBJECT AREAS UNDERSTANDING THROUGH AN ART FORM ENGAGE STUDENTS Adapted from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts © 2008 3 Relevance of Curriculum and arts in the classroom…. “Today arts education is not a nicety of an abundant society, arts education is an urgent part of any contemporary education- not only in training kids to succeed in the world of work, but to develop whole –minded citizens.” Daniel Pink, Author Learning is continuous. The essential purpose is to improve the learning and achievement of all students. Teachers play a very vital and important role in increasing the intellectual and artistic literacy of young people. Sharing your gift of teaching through knowledge and experience will ensure student success. Arts integration is an important resource for educators to coordinate innovative ideas, methods and skills to teach children and prepare them for the future. Education has a very high value and should be used to challenge students intellectually and EMPOWER them to be good learners and solve problems In addition to being parents, you are very important in setting the tone first as a MENTOR and a COACH for your children.

Building skills in the classroom through movement is a higher level of Bloom’s taxonomy”. Annette Lyons, teacher Stevenson Elementary School of the Arts “My kids are familiar with the books so the literature ties into our reading program. I am also hoping the theatrical experience will inspire my kids to read more and have an appreciation for the performing arts. Most of my students have never been to the King Center or a play before”. Cindy Deforest, teacher, Cape View Elementary “Many viable lessons have been learned before and after viewing the performance. The students have enhanced their writing and creative thinking skills. Thank you for continuing to offer the outstanding educational theatre performance schedule”. Beatrice Vasconi, Director Brevard Jewish Community School “Our experience with the King Center Theatre For Youth and Outreach has been nothing short of a positive and rewarding experience for our children and families. Each year we look forward to attending the diverse that are offered. It’s really nice that the children can experience the programs with their peers and build social skills”.
