We had a really great show this morning! We are in Charlotte and just finished our first day of a four week residency at First Ward Elementary. I LOVE this school!
You can tell by the bulletin boards and the art work on the walls that this school uses the arts fully to teach a standard curriculum. I appreciate the enthusiasm of the students and the teachers to our infiltration into the classroom, I sense they are open and excited to have us.
We always start the week off with a performance in the mornings of our first day, and this morning's performance was tremendous, mostly due to the visceral reactions of our audience. As a troupe it is a treat to hear our audience (the kids) react with laughs, gasps, applause, and in some cases shout outs! So funny, SO fun! Schools are chaotic but I really believe that when everyone comes together to watch a live performance we are all engaging in an expanded moment of mutual experience. ODE is the talk of the campus as a shared and enriching happening! What a treat to be a part of!
