Letting Off STEAM: Arts Integration Workshops
The Hanover Theatre Conservatory is proud to announce new field trip opportunities for the 2022-2023 school year!
Our STEAM and arts integration workshops aim to elevate school curriculum by giving students and teachers the chance to experience it kinesthetically, through the arts and real-world application. Taught by a professional theatre or dance teaching artist and created in tandem with a MA licensed teacher, these workshops are aligned with CCSS and MA state standards and are a great way to help differentiate classroom learning. Scroll down to see workshops for all age levels!
Workshops are $450 each and can accommodate up to 30 students each.
