With support from the California Arts Council, LAITY THEATER COMPANY (dba Laity Institute of the Arts) will provide high quality, standards-based after-school Visual and Performing arts instruction for underserved children in the Palmdale School District (PSD) in Palmdale, California in grades K – 8.
Laity’s Organization’s Core Programs and Services are courses in: Art, Animation, Ceramic Arts, Dance, Drama and Music. These courses are taught by professional and semi-professional artist in their field of study. Our courses are designed to help increase the overall awareness in the visual and performing arts in schools, and the tremendous role they play in the overall development of the student.
Laity has developed the Laity Education Arts Program. LEAP is an after-school arts program designed to help augment and support the teaching of the arts during the traditional school day with a comprehensive content-based arts program. To reach this goal, LIA focuses on three key areas:
· Skills – what the student learns from the instructor
· Confidence – how the student executes what he/she has learned
· Motivation – what the student is willing to learn next
To achieve this classes in art, animation, ceramic art, dance, drama and music are taught after school 3 hours a day Monday through Friday.
