Students will create and work with masks as part of this exciting workshop, brought to you by ArcheDream! Participants will be shown a series of painted masks in various emotions and asked to pick the mask that attracts their attention. Each is given the opportunity to manifest the emotion that the mask embodies, which becomes a revelation of invisible feelings. The communication as each participant reveals their issue of feeling bonds the group into a new relationship. The exercise teaches how to objectify a subjective emotion and attain an art form and communication with peers. Participants’ differences are brought into harmonious relativity.

Please note, students will need access to art materials as part of this program.

How can hip hop movement and break dancing contribute to conflict resolution? Join us for this engaging demonstration and virtual student workshop aimed at exploring the use of dance toward conflict resolution. The videoconference agenda will include a brief history of hip hop and ADHK artists will demonstrate locking, popping, up-rock & b-boy styles of break dancing. Participants will practice step-by-step breakdowns of the movements. Make sure you have plenty of space for students to move around! This project is brought to you by ArcheDream.
