Residency Initiatives
The residencies listed below were developed in collaboration with AFL program staff and
have multiple choices for customizing. Prices vary, call for details.
Collaboration of the Generations
This program brings together children
and elders through the natural
medium of storytelling. Both groups
work with a storyteller, then gather
to have the elders tell their stories to
the children. Children then work with
the storyteller to practice retelling
the elders stories. In a suggested
culminating event, students tell the
elders stories back to the audience.
A planning meeting with a program
director is recommended to begin the
program.
Notes to Notes
In this residency students explore the
driving question, “what do poets and
jazz musicians have in common?”
Through a live jazz performance,
five classroom visits with a writer,
and a visit with the musician,
students will learn that improvisation,
phrasing, and tone are just a few
of the similarities. This experience
encourages a familiarity with jazz
music as well as encourages
students with writing prompts for
poetry. In a suggested culminating
event, students read their poetry
aloud to another class, or a gathering
of their parents. A planning meeting
with the artists is recommended.
Welcome to Learning
This kindergarten and first grade
residency is meant to encourage
learning in literacy as well as in an
art form. Through works of children’s
literature, vocabulary lessons and
word walls, as well as hands-on
experience with an art form, students
use fine and gross motor skills as
they discover that learning is fun. Five
visits with the artist are 90 minutes
long, giving time for large and small
group activities. In a suggested
culminating event, students present
what they have learned to another
class, or a gathering of their parents.
A planning meeting with the artist is
recommended.
