Educational programs can entertain, educate and provide an experience that encourages young audiences to grow and appreciate dance in new and exciting ways.
Eight Strokes & the Moving Word Series
A field trip to Chen Dance Center is a cultural immersion experience for elementary through college level students. Our dance-based show, with award-winning works by choreographer H.T. Chen, has been cited by educators as “the field trip of the year”. Eight Strokes & the Moving Word Series draws from the company’s rich cultural heritage and dynamic repertory to reveal the culture and history of Asians in America. Through dance and calligraphy, the students are shown the stories and meaning behind the words and dances in an innovative one-hour presentation through live performance, video projections, and an interactive format.
In the unique environment of the theater, children will discover new methods of expression and will leave with a renewed enthusiasm for learning that they can take back to the day-to-day classroom environment.
Performances & Workshops will be available November 12, 2019 - February 14, 2020.
