We are committed to ensuring that all young people receive the education they need and deserve.Performing Arts Workshop's programs work with school and community partners to provide effective and tested arts programming to San Francisco Bay Area youth.Workshop teaching artists are professional artists, trained to teach performing arts to youth, particularly those often referred to as "at risk". We offer performing arts programming in the following art forms: World Dance, Creative Movement, World Music, Theatre and Creative Writing. Program StructureA Workshop teaching artist visits a classroom or after-school program once or twice a week for a minimum of 10 weeks (maximum of 30 weeks) – we call this a "residency". In partnership with site staff, artists set learning goals for their students that go beyond technical training in a particular art form.Outcomes, Standards and EvaluationPerforming Arts Workshop expects all of our students to develop as artists and as members of their classroom community. That is why we have articulated our Youth Outcomes, which illustrate learning priorities in our classrooms.
