Leap

The leap residencies are extended programs bringing arts into public classrooms on a weekly basis. From January to June of 2008, I worked with 11 different classes at The John Yehall Chin Chinese/American School on Broadway in San Francisco. The residency was set up to enhance classroom curriculum through creative dramatics, physical comedy, & theatrical improv. We had school-wide performances during the first week of June. This year, I'll be working with LEAP again. Stay tuned to hear about the new residency. www.leap4kids.org


Performances

"Noidler" made an appearance at "The Swivel Arts Benefit" at "Dance Mission" (24th & Mission) on February 24th, 2008. Right now, "Noidler" is busy picking her teeth.

Swivel Arts

During Spring Break (March 24th-28th), Trish led a special program for kids with Deborah Ben-Eliezer of "Swivel Arts" in San Francisco. Kids learned how to theatrically play back written stories. This was a particularly fun week of classes, very creative. We used characters & situations from my children's book, "Zephrum Gates & The Mysterious Purple Haze." We created and performed a 25-minute play that integrated Voice-Over, Dance, Costumes, & Characters. Each student got a copy of the book as part of their participation in the week. www.SwivelArts.com/camp.html
