Can’t make it to BAM? No problem! Virtual programs are an easy, accessible way to bring the BAM Education experience into your classroom.
Each session features a high-definition video excerpt of a BAM performance, specifically chosen for its academic connections. Students deepen their understanding of the work and embrace their creativity through an interactive workshop led by a BAM teaching artist—streamed live into your classroom. Virtual programs also include pre- and post-show activities provided in an online study guide.
