Major Activities

Activity 2

The Schools & Family Programs department provides arts-based opportunities to over 20,000 youth and families in the Triangle region of NC through three main programs. The School Show Series presented 20 performances at The ArtsCenter for school groups in 2010-2011. These performances link with curriculum and explore diverse art forms and cultures. Additionally, we collaborated with local PTA volunteers to coordinate 74 in-school shows by visiting performers this year. The SuperFun Series presents shows for family audiences on the weekend and produced 10 performances this year and hosted two Baby Loves Disco toddler dance party events. The ArtsCenter also makes arts learning opportunities available to youth through direct contact with Teaching Artists. The Arts in Education program provided 10 hands-on arts integration residencies to over 450 area youth and 5 professional workshops to about 70 area teachers and Teaching Artists. Overall, the Schools and Family Programs department aims to provide programs of high artistic quality that are accessible to all, promote understanding, have educational merit, and strengthen community partnerships.

Activity 3

The Youth Performing Arts Conservatory (YPAC) began in September 2005 as an acting program for young people ages 6-17. It is a year-round performing arts program with classes in fall, spring and summer sessions. YPAC serves students from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Hillsborough and Pittsboro and stresses the education of actors through comprehensive classes in acting, musical theater, dance, improv, stage combat, Shakespeare, on-camera acting and more. In the summer of 2007, YPAC developed the Summer Youth Conservatory in partnership with UNC-Chapel Hill's PlayMakers Repertory Company to run a summer program with classes for actors and theatre technicians resulting in a full-fledged production. In 2010, YPAC co-produced two full-length plays; one with student actors and student designers; the other with student actors working alongside adult actors and adult designers. In 2010, YPAC also formed a touring troupe, which performed throughout the local community and has expanded class offerings to include filmmaking and rock band classes. This year, YPAC employed 64 instructors, and offered over 50 classes in which over 380 students registered. Overall, YPAC provides a comprehensive understanding of the performing arts, exploration of a variety of performing arts techniques and participation in performance opportunities.
