Residency Programs

Ririe-Woodbury offers several residencies for Utah public and charter schools, including Kids In Motion, touring, and high school choreography.
‍

Kids In Motion Two-Week Residency Program
‍

Kids In Motion residencies are conducted annually in six, select elementary schools where the Company offers an in-depth experience over the course of two weeks, including an interactive performance demonstration, creative movement classes and a peer-to-peer performance at the end of the residency. A Parent/Child Night and a Teacher Workshop are offered and scheduled at a time convenient for each school (optional). Participating schools are invited to attend the annual student matinees at various downtown theater venues.
‍

This program is designed to assist classroom teachers in the implementation and fulfillment of the objectives of the Utah Dance Core Curriculum. Company dancers, who are highly trained dance educators, encourage students to experience, explore, create, perform, observe, critique, and gain aesthetic literacy. Through the engagement of mind/body/spirit, this residency program celebrates individual differences and expressions as well as the importance of the learning community.
