About:

artworxLA was founded in 1992 as The HeArt Project to help fill the void in arts education among L.A. inner city youth. Our mission is to combat the epidemic high school dropout crisis with a long-term, sequential arts program offering students a pursuable life path that inspires them to stay in school, evolve as unique individuals and flourish as creative adults. In nearly 25 years of success in the field, we know that true transformation for high-risk teenagers is achieved through three interlocking elements: 1) Creatively educating them with sustained arts exposure and immersion; 2) Connecting them to a network of peers, artists, cultural partners, higher education, creative industries, and supportive adults; and 3) Investing human and financial resources around persistent support for students and alumni to build self-confidence and personal responsibility.

Using art as a key engager, artworxLA provides creative learning experiences for 600 alternative high school students across L.A. County every year. Our program gives struggling students renewed perspective on education and life, helping them to be curious, to love learning, and to see a bright future.

About:

MISSION
To elevate, educate, and entertain audiences of all ages by presenting thought-provoking classics, socially relevant plays, and education programs in a beautiful, natural outdoor sanctuary for the arts. By passing on a sense of history to young people and adults alike, great works of art inform their present and inspire their future. A true renaissance theatre, we offer (at affordable prices) a diversity of programming from Shakespeare to poetry; from folk music to the development of future playwrights – all to help understand the world we live in and to embrace our shared humanity.

HISTORY
In the 1950s, Will Geer was blacklisted. His career shattered, the artist/botanist sold vegetables, presented Shakespeare, and played music with friends such as Woody Guthrie and John Randolph at his family home in Topanga. The seeds of the Theatricum Botanicum were planted. In 1978 Geer passed away. Daughter Ellen grew Theatricum into an Equity theatre and launched the Academy of the Classics and School Programs. An L.A. cultural landmark, Theatricum has been serving the patrons, families and students of the greater Los Angeles area for over 40 years.

Student Programming:

School Programs
School Days Field Trip Program
Offered for 5 weeks each spring and two weeks each fall, students (K-12) and teachers from public, private, parochial and special needs schools travel to Theatricum’s outdoor amphitheatre to see a full production of a Shakespeare play, participate in an interactive Living History program featuring Queen Elizabeth and William Shakespeare, and engage in technique workshops. Prior to the field trip, students receive an in-school preparatory visit and teachers receive an extensive study guide and are invited to participate in a professional development workshop. Schools are charge a per-pupil fee to participate (range of prices based on size of group). Chaperones are free at a rate of 1/20 students and $15 each after that.

Classroom Enrichment
Theatricum offers extensive arts education programming in the schools in the following categories: Assemblies (American History Concert-style assemblies, Living History visits, Shakespeare plays, and Children’s Literature); Workshops (juggling, combat, dance, text, music, ensemble, etc.); Residencies (Students Act the Classics - students are directed by Theatricum artist-educators in edited versions of Shakespeare plays; Classics off-the-Page - individually designed curriculum – including workshops and performances - created to bring a particular text “off-the-page” for a classroom or student group; and Americana off-the-Page - individually designed curriculum – including workshops and performances - created to bring a particular period in American History “off-the-page” for a classroom or student group). Programs are tailored for each teacher’s needs (budget, schedule, curricular) and are brought directly to the school site.

About:

Education Through Music-Los Angeles puts music back into inner-city schools as part of the core curriculum for every child, where it belongs. Education Through Music-LA is serving nearly 12,000 students with weekly, yearlong music instruction. Music has the power to transform the lives of children and their communities, and to provide them with such lifelong benefits including self-confidence, problem-solving skills, teamwork, perseverance, concentration, and motivation to stay in school.

Our objectives include:

Weekly, yearlong instruction for every child.
Integration across the curriculum to reinforce overall learning.
Ongoing training for music teachers and class teachers.
Guidance for school leaders to build towards sustainability.
Parent engagement and involvement as advocates for their music program.

Student Programming:

ETM-LA establishes strong partnerships with Los Angeles County schools to provide comprehensive, high-quality music education based on CA State and National Standards, during the school day. While many programs may serve only a subset of the school population, we provide equity for all children, including those with special needs, engaging every child with weekly, yearlong standards-based instruction that integrates skills and concepts across the curriculum.

Areas of instruction include general music, strings, guitar, recorder, ukulele, band, and chorus, determined through customized planning with each school. Depending on the grade level, each student receives one 30-50-minute music class weekly throughout the entire school year in a designated music room.

Professional Development:

In order to ensure high quality instruction for all students, music teachers participate in six annual professional development workshops and a five-day intensive training institute every August. We also provide academic teachers at partner schools with professional development workshops on how to connect skills and concepts from the music curriculum into lesson plans. In addition, ETM-LA helps principals and school district leaders plan for long-term sustainability.

Our in-school music education and training programs are overseen by Program Director Ryan Rowles, M. Ed, a school music educator with over 16 years’ experience, as well as Executive Director Victoria Lanier, a Juilliard Pre-College trained violinist with a B.A. from Princeton University and an M.A. in Education from Columbia Teachers College. ETM-LA's professional development workshops are hands-on, relevant to the participants and their teaching needs, and customized to provide support for a wide range of teaching levels.
