Using storytelling and the arts in the classroom has
proven to be an empowering and educational tool for
both the teller/ teacher and the listener/ student.
Storytelling and the arts have shown to improve self-confidence,
listening skills, cooperation, critical/creative thinking
skills and literacy.
All
workshops can be adapted to different themes and/or
curricular needs as necessary. In addition, Arianna
is accustomed to working with a wide range of physical
and mental abilities; therefore she is able to adjust
her teaching to suit different learning styles and abilities.
A single session for children is a recommended minimum
of 45 minutes. There is no maximum, as each of these
single workshops can be turned into long-term residencies.
The Artist will supply a majority of the instruments
and/or props needed for the sessions.
