Education Outreach
OAC Artist in Education Project student
Our wish is to facilitate shared creative experiences for individuals to explore communication and expression through performative art forms. Physical inhibition is sometimes a barrier for people who are new to dance as a form of emotional expression and physical engagement. As educators we commit ourselves to values that support and encourage listening, willingness to try and respect for others, for the process and for one’s self. We encourage expression from individual voices, nurture participants’ desire to try, and teach skills to communicate ideas clearly. Our foremost challenge is to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore pure expression, connectivity, communication and to cultivate attention.

Initiated in 2004 as a single performance event celebrating the diversity of our creative and cultural community and collaborative artistic relationships The Whole Shebang (TWS) has grown into a month long festival of multi-arts activities that bring together culturally and artistically diverse groups and individuals to interconnect and share in positive and inclusive environments through workshops, classes, public performances, artistic mentorships and more. The pinnacle event of the festival is The Whole Shebang Mainstage Presentation a showcase of short performances by (but not limited to) a diverse gathering of senior, mid-career and emerging dance artists, theatre artists, musicians, filmmakers, poets, visual artists and digital media artists. Our next Festival will take place during April/May 2012.
Designed for high school dance and drama students to assist and inspire students to refine their movement fluency and expression. Dance artist Andrea Nann will lead students into creating and developing collaborative content- driven work.
A guest artist will also participates in the workshop: composers, spoken word artists, visual artists and digital media artists, to provide improvised content, responding to and supporting the students’ work as they move and create.
