Join SF Ballet and SFMOMA for a free professional development workshop for PK-12 classroom educators. Explore how dance can help build narrative skills and inspire learning through the arts. Teachers will develop techniques for engaging with artworks using observation, inquiry, contextual information, and personal associations. This workshop will provide educators with classroom activities and resources that spark deeper engagement with COLORFORMS performed by the dancers of SF Ballet and filmed at SFMOMA. Gain tools to incorporate art and dance into your curriculum, and learn about how the art at SFMOMA inspired the dance film COLORFORMS.
