The Spirit of Play…

All young people are born with creative spirit. Through play and imagination, they create new characters, ideas and stories everyday. In Creative Spirit workshops, they will build on those strengths, transforming creative play into art that moves the body and the heart.

Artists, Emily Green-Cain or Adora Dupree, can travel to where you are…with a bag full of drums, rattles and percussion instruments and a few costume pieces they can create magic anywhere!
