Spark 2019: Climate, Communities and Change
Nov 16, 2019: A youth and children's workshop organized by AID and Navarasa
Is your child wondering about the forest fires and asking you questions about climate change? Are you interested in an exploration of these concepts through an evening of theatre, music and storytelling?
AID Bay Area and Navarasa Dance Theatre present an event for children between ages 6 and 13 to critically analyze the world and make sense of the information presented to them. Through this event, we’ll bring about awareness of the multi dimensional nature issues that affect our environment. We’ll then enable your child process the resulting emotions through the creative outlets of theatre, dance and music and leave them with more space for empathy and compassion in their hearts and heads.
