The Show Must Go On

Virtual choir

I learned in a Mindshift article about theater programs that continued throughout the summer. I came across this virtual choir including ‘All-Star Thespians’ from across the globe. Their performance saved in this YouTube video kicked off the first-ever Virtual International Thespian Festival. The virtual choir features 90 students from 38 states and 3 countries, plus Broadway performers Jason Alexander, Norbert Leo Butz, Joshua Colley, E. Clayton Cornelius, Janine DiVita, Matt Gumley, Sam Harris, Annabelle Kempf, Analise Scarpaci. I was moved by their performance “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman…and hope that it brings a smile to your face on this Friday.

Integrating the Arts

MindShift

Edutopia is a great resource that I’ve noted in the past on several occasions. The online resources that they make available to anyone interested are ‘spot on’ for the needs of today’s educators. They have repeatedly shared information on student-centered learning. Edutopia doesn’t disappoint.

MindShift, another outstanding resource, recently included in a communication, a video that was created by Edutopia called How the Arts Can Be Integrated into Every Subject. Even though this video is 10 years old it will provide you a window into what arts integration could look like.
