This winter, local arts organizations Young Dance and Upstream Arts and Minneapolis Community Education are teaming up to offer The Art of (E)motion, after school arts programming for 3rd to 5th grade students with and without disabilities at Barton and Marcy Open Schools. For 9 weeks, these students work with artists and dancers from Young Dance and Upstream Arts, exploring movement and dance, theatre, music, visual arts and poetry while building social and communication skills and relationships with peers with and without disabilities. In the process, they collectively build original performances which will be presented at Barton and Marcy Open this March. Come to the culminating performances of the Art of (e)Motion to watch these students take center stage to tell their stories and express who they are through the arts. All are welcome!
