Through this program, more than 1,400 underserved children will get to work with professional teaching artists in their classrooms. The focus school program began in 2008 and was designed to provide arts experiences to underserved youth in area Title 1 schools. Through a partnership with Orange County Schools, The ArtsCenter worked with Central Elementary from 2008 -2009 to 2012 -2013. Due to the success of the program, Orange County Schools asked that the program be expanded to include all three Title 1 elementary schools in the district (New Hope Elementary, Efland- Cheeks Elementary and Central Elementary in the 2013 -2014 school year, and this expansion has continued into the 2014 -2015 school year. New Hope Elementary, located in Hillsborough, has 58% free /reduced lunch and the highest English Language Learner population in the district. In January of 2015, teaching artist Virginia Danford will conduct an Artist Residency with the 5t" grade classes at New Hope Elementary School.

Every grade level from the Title 1 schools is invited to register for a field trip to a School Show at The ArtsCenter, at which time they indicate the art form and curriculum focus they would like addressed during their Artist Residency. All School Shows connect to specific elements of the curriculum, and The ArtsCenter's Artist Residency Program allows students to study this related curriculum, which is correlated directly with the North Carolina Common Core and Essential Standards, with professional teaching artists in their classrooms. The Teaching Artist is paired with the grade level based on classroom teachers' choice of art form, and plans a residency that will weave together elements of the School Show, curriculum and art form, while preparing students to see the School DocuSign Envelope ID: ECE511A0- 1745 - 4353- 8DDA- 483D182AA9FD The ArtsCenter Arts In Education Focus School Program Show at The ArtsCenter. For many children, this is their first time seeing a live performance as well as working with a professional artist. By participating in alternative methods of learning, all students are able to reach their maximum potential because they are able to learn through the approach that fits their individual learning styles. The Teaching Artist for the New Hope Elementary 5th Grade Artist Residency is Virginia Danford. Virginia has been a professional artist and educator for over 20 years. She holds an MFA in Acting and also works as a choreographer and director in addition to teaching. She teaches a variety of courses for all ages including drama, acting on camera, dance and movement classes, and poetry, among others. She has taught professional classes at colleges, universities, public and private institutions, as well as working as a teaching artist in the schools for over 15 years. Virginia has worked with The ArtsCenter since the inception of the Artist Residency (formerly ABLE residencies) program and continues to develop innovative programs that are educational and inspirational to classroom teachers and students alike. During this Artist Residency, the New Hope Elementary 5th grade classes will attend Jackie Robinson: A Game Apart, a one -man play developed and performance by local artist Mike Wiley. The students will explore the themes of racism, courage, determination, hope and non - violence through theatre and creative movement activities designed to enhance creative expression, performance skills, self- esteem and cooperation. On the final day, students will have an open class sharing a culmination of their work. Virginia and The ArtsCenter's School & Family Programs Coordinator have already met with classroom teachers from New Hope's 5th grade for a planning session to review goals and discuss residency logistics. Following the residency, they will all meet again for an evaluation meeting. In addition to this evaluation tool, The ArtsCenter will distribute student and teacher evaluations to assess the effectiveness of the experience, as well as communicate regularly with teachers and administrators during and following residencies. Additionally, curriculum assessments are administered following all residencies to measure academic growth on the material covered during residencies. The assessments are created with collaboration from classroom teachers, teaching artists and The ArtsCenter's School & Family Programs Coordinator. The ArtsCenter is currently reviewing the evaluation process to assure its effectiveness and standardize processes across the board. The ArtsCenter has successfully implemented 51 residencies in area schools over the last several years through the Arts in Education program, 37 of which have been Artist Residencies (formerly ABLE residencies). Furthermore, as mentioned above, The ArtsCenter has successfully carried out the focus school program at Central Elementary for the past five years and has expanded this program to New Hope and Efland- Cheeks Elementary Schools. The ArtsCenter requests funding in the amount of $1500 to be applied towards artist fees and supplies for the New Hope Elementary School 5th grade Artist Residency, to take place in January 2015.

When you see a live performance you play a part too! Your role is an audience member. As an audience member you should obey the following instructions: • When you arrive, follow an usher to your seat. Your group may be assigned to specific seats in the theater. Please stay in the seat you are given until the show is over. Before show the — / THINK ABOUT IT! • Most theaters do not allow cameras or recording devices. Please leave these at home or in your classroom. • Food, drink and chewing gum are not allowed in the theater. • When the theater lights dim, it means the show is about to begin. Please be quiet. • Listen and watch carefully. Talking and making noise disturbs the performers and other audience members. Please hold your comments until after the performance. Of course when something is funny you may laugh. You may even cry when something is sad. • Show your appreciation by clapping when the performance is over and when the performers bow. • Stay seated after the show and an usher or your teacher will lead you out of the theater. NOTE This show will have a question and answer period following the performance. Please stay seated after the curtain call. If you have a question, raise your hand. Speak loudly and clearly when you are called on. Read the quote below and think about the importance of theater throughout history. "Through my singing and acting and speaking, I want to make freedom ring.

I, Too by Langston Hughes I, too, sing America I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.

He joined a professional football team before finishing his last year of school to earn money for his mother. The following year he was drafted into the Army to fight in WWII. Because of the influence of boxer Joe Lewis to set up an African American officer training school, Jackie was able to become a lieutenant. When he was discharged, Robinson played baseball in the Negro League, but was soon asked to join the Brooklyn Dodgers by the team's owner Branch Ricky. Accepting the position was a great risk for Jackie, because he would be the first African American player in the major leagues since the late 1800s, when Jim Crow laws began. Mr. Ricky knew that, despite his history of bravely standing up for his rights, Jackie would be strong enough to resist violence when people would mistreat him. In 1947, his first year, Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier and was named Rookie of the Year for his outstanding performance. After just two years with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Jackie won the National League MVP award and the batting title. It was a wonder that someone could accomplish so much while dealing with insults from fans and teammates, foul play by competitors, and death threats from the public. Eventually, Jackie won respect and became an inspiration and a symbol of opportunity for all African Americans. The baseball star spoke out against unfair treatment for African Americans throughout his career, and stayed involved in the Civil Rights movement after his retirement from the game.

He had enough self control to not fight back when people tested him with threats, insults, and foul play. Jackie had to rise above the racial hatred in order to successfully integrate the game. He used his energy, instead, to become one of the best baseball players of his time. His character and his talent eventually helped him to earn the respect of teammates, fans, and the competition. After becoming an American hero, he was able to speak out for the rights of all African Americans. Isaac Murphy, the three time Kentucky derby champion in the late 1800s, told a story in the play about a time when we was asked to lose a race on purpose for a large group of gamblers.
