Putting the “A” in STEAM Education
The partnership between The Addy Foundation and Broadway Dallas is addressing two “A”s in education: The Arts and Accessibility.
The majority of these resources are focused on the South Dallas/Fair Park neighborhood with additional outreach throughout the District.
Broadway Dallas & Addy Foundation focus on three areas:
hamilton live
An entire performance of Hamilton was dedicated to Dallas ISD students from 26 high schools who converged at the Music Hall to see the show after participating in nine sessions of STEM-based classroom curriculum infused with the arts.
The bespoke HAMILTON-themed curriculum focuses on marketing theory and technology with Adobe Pro and Photoshop software installed in classrooms as students created their own marketing plan for this blockbuster hit.
As one of the most popular and influential musicals of the century, Hamilton provides an experience like no other by telling the story of our nation’s founding through contemporary story-telling styles and groundbreaking casting that puts black and brown actors front and center.
educator workshops
Professional Development Workshops for Dallas ISD Educators enhance cultural intelligence and infuse what they learn into lesson plans for the benefit of their students. These sessions will explore innovative teaching approaches and techniques designed to increase student engagement and success, as well as provide a more equitable classroom experience.
Master classes
Understanding that the skills learned through participating in arts-based programs are transferrable to a variety of other disciplines, DSM will provide Dallas ISD theater and dance students with Master Classes designed to increase a students’ level of knowledge in a specific area, such as how body language can tell a story, and how in-depth research can bring a narrative to life.
“Children are our future. Their ability to question, to think outside of the box, to be curious, to socially engage and act within arts-based institutions and within the communities they live are all by-products of exposure to the arts.”
Broadway Dallas
One of the largest issues in the arts sector is the inability of black and brown children to see themselves onstage. Dallas ISD students, many for the first time, have the opportunity to not only see individuals who look and sound like them perform, but also learn American history in a relatable and approachable way..”
