The Heritage Project

The Heritage Project uses creative movement to engage Jr. High and middle school-aged students in the exploration of personal histories, cultural experiences, and the tangible/intangibles of heritage. With an RDT dance educator, students learn about movement/choreographic principles and discuss the artistic process.

Students then engage in oral and written storytelling through dialogue and writing exercises. Using the creative process, teamwork and coaching, students memorialize his/her story in a movement study; all are woven into an original piece with music to be performed in their school concert and showcased at the Rose Wagner Center on May 5 and 6, 2025 in the Jeanne Wagner Theater at the annual Heritage Project Showcase.
