Performance Programs
While it may not be quite accurate to say that performance programs are the heart of what we do at Gateway to the Arts, they are how we originated. And even today, performance programs are often how educators and students are introduced to the span of arts-in-education work facilitated by Gateway. Going beyond entertainment, Gateway's performance programs correlate with a number of curricular objectives. Some programs provide an introduction to traditional art forms, while others inspire the creative process. Rich and diverse, many programs use the arts to explore regional history or minority experiences while others explore cultures across the globe. From science to social issues, these interactive performances help children to make connections across the curriculum, to practice critical thinking skills and to use the arts as a way to define themselves in an ever-expanding world. While you browse our catalog of offerings, please keep in mind that for many performances classroom workshops can be added to the program as a way to deepen the experience or to address specific objectives.
