Performance Ideas

Anne's stories are both hilarious and touching, and skillfully address issues that are critical to this age group. While delighting in the antics of a baby monkey in trouble, or a little brother's efforts to clean the guinea pig cage, the audience is also learning about responsibility, problem solving, and the importance of humour and compassion in this world. For this age group, the string games open a universe of geometric exploration, mathematical concepts, cooperative play, and cultural diversity. The school is invariably tangled in a web of strings for weeks after Anne’s visit. Many teachers and parents report seeing a marked improvement in dexterity, concentration, cooperation, and academic performance after these string flurries. In this workshop, Anne walks administrators, teachers and parents through the logistics of an artist-in-residence program and shares strategies that make her programs so effective in creating community within and between schools. If you would like to see less bullying, more creativity, and less need for high tech entertainments, this workshop is for you.
