Being that many of our students from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France, Russia and Turkey have limited verbal and listening skills, the visual part of the program created a captive audience.

Cinnie Wappel, New Hope, PA

In addition to teaching in the schools, she is one of our best presenters of teacher professional development and is called upon regularly by other arts organizations for professional development.

Marsha Dobrzynski, Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio

That was the best time I had at school.

Justin, a student

The message was right on target - every student was engaged.

Grace Adams, Kendall NY

I believe the show clearly demonstrates that the "Founding Fathers" based many portions of the Constitution on their knowledge of Iroquois government, rather than on the Magna Carta, as textbooks often claim.

Shari Gully Burlington, North Carolina

Thank you. I especially will be using the side-by-side comparison of the Great Law of Peace and the Constitution. And my students enjoy learning about the Native American symbolism present on U. S. currency.

Hugh M. Cummings High School, Burlington, NC

I liked the fact that we worked together and the results were amazing.

Chandler, a student

The performance was superb. The children were engrossed from start to finish. They wanted more!

Viola Franklin Melbourne, Florida

Thanks! We need more PD like this in order to motivate our students to actively participate and learn concepts in various ways. Bring Robin back!

Renaissance Theater, Professional Development Participant

It was very interesting to learn about all the different kinds of acting skills.

Kirk, a student

The story was creative and highly interactive.

Judy Carr Newtown, PA

I loved how you were interactive with everyone.

Shaylin, a student

Learning has never been such fun and so moving.

Clara Barton Elementary School, Levittown, PA

Robin Pease was the keynote speaker, a constructive and inspiring addition to the festival....she really held the attention and interest of the entire auditorium. Teachers came away with a better understanding of how to enhance storytelling with dramatic arts principles, and use stories from diverse cultural backgrounds to create activities that address learning standards.

Settlement Music School, Philadelphia PA

You all did an amazing job this summer. The performance showed real and substantive accomplishment by the children – a testament to your team’s work. Congratulations and THANK YOU!

In collaboration with Cleveland Shakespeare Festival, KIDShakes will offer outdoor, interactive, educational performances of Shakespeare’s greatest works for FREE to the families of greater Cleveland. KIDShakes performances are specifically geared for families with young children and will serve as the perfect introduction to classic stories, especially those that help celebrate nature. The goal is to invite families outside and into Cleveland’s natural spaces to play and explore through art. Each show will promote artistic expression, creative problem solving, and natural stewardship. With music, dance and interactive storytelling KIDShakes will encourage kids to explore their outdoor settings and solve problems to help the performers advance the story. Thus KIDShakes will provide a uniquely immersive and imaginatively memorable experience for children and adults alike!

KIDShakes is made possible in part by an investment of public funds from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC). The OAC is a state agency that funds and supports quality arts experiences to strengthen Ohio communities culturally, educationally, and economically.
