  
 Educators, partner with Ballet Austin, Pollyanna Theatre Company, and the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum to “blitz” your students with multiple art forms! The program includes a live dance theatre production, Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits for teachers participating in the ArtsBlitz Professional Development, and free curricula for classroom educators.
The next Arts Blitz production, Sprites, will be performed for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in January 2014.
Sprites Summary:
One day, 10-year-old Wren plays with words and they come to life. When she writes poetry, the words are sweet and graceful. When she writes adventure stories, they gallop and gambol. However when Marlie, the school bully, convinces her to use them to hurt another girl, Wren discovers how powerful words are, and realizes that they always must be used with care. Whether spoken, written, or sent into cyberspace, words do come to life. This new dance drama animates words and their intentions, and asks young people to think before they misuse tools as powerful as their own words.
