RESIDENCIES

Darcy has partnered with many schools and organizations to work with children through drama and storytelling residencies. These can last for a school year, a period of weeks, or a series of single-day programs.

Whether preschool students or young adults, participants devise original stories or adaptations by working together as an ensemble. The experience may include music, movement, games, improv, art, writing, and other interactive activities.

Residencies often culminate in a live performance, video, written work or another artistic product, but they can also be purely experiential. Feel free to contact Darcy for samples of her lessons and scripts from these programs.
