Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, the Studios for the Performing Arts, AKA CLARA, will partner with professional vertical dance company, TwoPoint4 Dance Theatre. The “TwoPoint4 Dance Experience” will provide 50 in-school dance workshops over 5 months for 350 5th-grade students in Sacramento City Unified School District, and culminate in an interactive performance field trip to TwoPoint4 Dance Theatre’s production, Home.

Organization Summary

CLARA provides 6,800 students in Sacramento County with in-school artist residencies, where a working artist comes to their class for an hour per week over 10 weeks to explore a specific genre of dance, music, or theatre. We also provide 50,000 students with digital access to arts learning through our virtual platform, CLARA Classroom. And, about 200 elementary age students have their first experiences in an array of performing arts genres through CLARA’s Performing Arts Summer Camp. A portion of these programs are donated free of charge to the students of Sacramento City Unified School District, as rent for the decommissioned school building that CLARA now manages to be a home for six diverse cultural organizations in our community.
