What is Polaris?
Harriet Tubman followed
it to Freedom.
Ancient
sailors were guided by its light.
Discover
Polaris, the North Star, a metaphor for knowing who we are.
It may be said that our choices are determined by our personal sense of true north. This sense of direction, our internal compass is Polaris, the North Star. As much as it lights
the sky, it shines within--self defined, self articulated—illuminating
the paths of our lives to clarify what we believe, who we are and what we might become.
Our professional teaching artists work with your student group to create an original, thematically based performance
piece that explores personal polaris. Integrating ensemble building techniques,
process and performance, Socratic method and original creative writing, with literary collage, poetry, myth, story, historical
and journalistic text with music and movement, each project reflects the needs, perspectives and desires of the creative
participants involved and results in an original collaborative performance work that fits within the framework of resources
provided.
We cannot know the journey the future holds, but we can provide the tools to help chart the course.
In finding Polaris, though
we may be in uncertain waters, we are never lost.
