Education
Using the arts as primary sources, Global Arts workshops explore cultures from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, indigenous people from North and South America, and the diverse cultures and voices represented in the United States.
Symphony Space’s Global Arts program provides hands-on, participatory workshops in styles of music, visual arts, dance, storytelling, and theater from around the world. Students are exposed to traditional arts from different cultures, guiding them to make connections between the past, present, and their own lives.
Through our inquiry-based activities led by professional artists, students learn to interpret and analyze traditional art forms, as well as how they’ve been kept alive through modern history. They apply what they’ve learned by conceptualizing, developing, and refining their own dances, music, stories, theater pieces, or visual art inspired by these cultural art forms.
Students may engage with every art form, or we can curate a special experience based on your school's needs. All workshops include art-making activities and support the development of social-emotional learning and leadership skills, with a focus on collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, and empathy. Students are inspired to share their own stories through the arts, fostering a love of the arts, deepening their sense of identity and belonging, and promoting appreciation for diverse cultures and shared human experiences.
Symphony Space is a NYC DOE vendor. All of our programs align with New York State Learning Standards and the NYC Department of Education Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts.
