It looked like a rainbow and it felt like we were all together. -Eli, age 5
Tanya and Bonnie helped students understand that it is our job to make sure that other people’s joy isn’t taken away and we can do that by using our own joy to stand up for them so that the rules are fair for everyone.

Space for Change
an interactive family adventure
|
|
Space for Change is an outdoor space built over time by small groups of participants. To create Space for Change, families work in community to build a safe space for all using simple materials, a little theatricality, live music, and a lot of joy. Once the space is created, participants are invited to reflect on their experience and their lives as a community.
This experience is designed for families in community, performing arts venues, and museums. |

Best Day Ever
a non-stop interactive classroom experience

Everyone deserves to have The Best Day Ever. When it is clear that The Book of Rules has unfair standards for this, we must mobilize to get the rules changed. Using movement, objects, and lots of imagination, we will show the author of The Book of Rules that we know how to Play for Change!
This program is designed as a residency for schools, K-3rd grade. |
