Books Alive! is an interactive educational experience where students enjoy the magic of live theatre, books and best of all… discover the joy of reading. Books Alive! can either be a field trip to KVPAC or the program travels to off-site to your location. Books Alive! begins with a professional musical production based on the featured book and is followed by a rotation of up to 4 academic workshops in: Music, Visual Arts, Stagecraft and Creative Writing. Workshops are designed to support literacy objectives through cross-curriculum activities. In two of the workshops (Visual Arts and Creative Writing), each student contributes to collaborative projects to commemorate their trip: a large professionally framed piece of artwork (art class) and a co-authored hard-bound original book (Creative Writing class). Program options include scheduling just a performance or a performance followed by 1 – 4 workshops of your choice.
