RealizeYourDream.png

Realize Your Dream is a collaboration of experiential programming that uses performing arts to spark and enrich inspiration - built upon the traditions and legacy of the Kids From Wisconsin. This is a constant evolution and intersection for teachers and learners, where workshops, residences and classroom sessions are designed for all age groups and ability levels.

Residencies

Year-Round Residencies

Written by music educators and performing arts professionals, we created  residency programs which offer high energy and interactive sessions for all ages, with one common goal: every child deserves the opportunity to experience and enjoy the world of music

Residencies have proven to be an integral component, to either supplement or enhance, a curriculum in a classroom or extracurricular setting. Our trained professional teaching artists assist students to find their purpose and importance; whether to become an appreciator or spark their curiously in pursing the performing arts.

About Our Residencies

Music In Me

Created for youth that have little to no access to music education or appreciation in an elementary classroom, Music In Me opens open the door to the importance of music in their life. This uses interactive tools from all performing arts angles and is based in the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's Music Standards. 

The class ends with a final performance showcase,  leaving them empowered with the ability to connect to their community with music understanding.

Workshops

During our summer tour, we invite youth ages 7-14 to our free performing arts workshops.

During this 1-hour session, participants have a choice to hang with the band to create their own music composition or learn portions of the choreography from the show with the singers and dancers.

 

After a showcase of their work, the troupe engages a reflection and inspirational talkback session where everyone shares and celebrates their love of performing.
