Segerstrom Center for the Arts is committed to providing all residents in this region with opportunities to enhance their knowledge of and appreciation for the performing arts. This includes students from elementary school through the university level, educators and individuals who simply want to broaden their experiences but not in a structure that is strictly academic. These programs achieve two especially important objectives: they develop the audiences of the future and, by integrating the arts into the standard curriculum, enhance learning, creative thinking, cognitive and social skills.
The Center’s Arts Teach Program features an extensive roster of more than 75 professional artists in music, dance, theater and visual arts from around the globe who specialize in performing for school assemblies, family nights, student workshops, teacher professional development and residencies. These occur at the Center, in schools and at community venues throughout Southern California. Arts Teach is an enriching arts-in-education program that provides the wonder and excitement of live performance and hands-on activities to schools and community organizations.

Body Pictures in Time (for grades K-12): Investigate core ingredients of choreography and dive into the imaginative world of dance making. Students will begin by exploring the possibilities of the body as molded shapes in space. By adding the elements of time and motion, students will be able to understand how to build dances from the ground up. Sessions will culminate with the creation and performance of an original dance piece.
The Distance Between You And Me (for grades K-12): Create the opportunity for your students to observe themselves in relation to others. Through improvisational games and cooperative exercises, students will see how their choices may affect the outcome of a single image or an entire dance. The dynamic tension between the individual, the pair and the larger ensemble will be explored. Sessions will culminate with the creation and performance of an original dance piece.
