Grades K—12
Share the power of live performance with your students! These inspiring, thought-provoking shows are specially chosen to speak to young audiences.
Each performance is complemented by a pre- or post-show workshop, led by a BAM teaching artist, which deepens engagement and sparks creativity. Workshops can be provided to your class of students in-person or virtually, depending on your needs.
Workshops are approximately 45 minutes, included at no cost for each registered class.
After registering, a BAM teaching artist will follow up to schedule the workshop(s) no less than three weeks prior to the performance or screening. Schools outside the Greater NYC area may not be eligible for in-person workshops due to distance, but a virtual option is available.
