NC Arts Council cARTwheels
NC Arts Council’s cARTwheels program provides high-quality stage performances and residency experiences to students, educators, and communities across the state.
cARTwheels engagements typically include:
A teacher workshop (required, two to three hours) to help teachers create entry ways for their students to the performance.
Live performances: two 50-minute, high-quality, age-appropriate performances that engage students’ imaginations. These performances will be presented at local performance venues.
Residency activities in schools and the community.
Study guides to introduce students to the performance. Guides include activities and resources that make curricular connections and facilitate extensions in the classroom.
