Dancing in the library! Students learned about step dance, the Stono Rebellion, and the Negro Act of 1740 from extraordinarily talented New Vic teaching artists Signey Harriday, P. Tyler Britt, Ana Cantoran Viramontes, Jamie Roach and Will Seefried yesterday and today. The six sessions of pre-theater workshops were the highlight of instructional preparation for a trip to the New Victory Theater later this week. Said one student "I was glad they came." Another participant wrote on a program evaluation "This s*** was fire." Experiential learning at its best.--Jessica Fenster-Sparber
