Huge congrats to Kamaiyah, Zabdiel, Adori, Isa, and the students of with some support from students from and for designing and fabricating some amazing set pieces for Powel Elementary School’s production of W***y Wonka last Friday. The set pieces were a HUGE hit, demonstrated by how many families and kids wanted their photographs with them afterwards. The students, Kamaiyah and Zabdiel really did a stellar job making sure that 75% of the set pieces were designed to be reused as amenities in the building’s classrooms and hallways after the production. Thanks for inviting us to once again work with your students on a really cool project and support from that made it possible. It was thrilling to involve elementary, middle, high school AND post grad students in ONE project.
Happy Earth Day! We spent the day building trees with students! Tree shaped hallway seating, storage and W***y Wonka theater props that is! We’ve been having a blast this winter/spring designing props for Powel Elementary School’s spring musical production of W***y Wonka with middle school students from and with assistance from high school interns from and . As much as possible, the collective team are working to transform what is normally a temporary prop into an amenity that will benefit both Powel and SLAMS students and teachers year round. Stay tuned as we all sprint to design and build everything for the Powel students’ performance on May 29th!
