The Scarlet Pimpernel has returned! Encouraged by the success of last year’s tour, Accessible Arts will again present The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel, a fast-paced musical with clever dialogue, delightful songs and plenty of action. Children, ages 7-14, will enjoy the situations and identify with the characters that inhabit this play. The production and companion arts workshops will be touring during the month of April, 2004. Schools, community centers and theatres are encouraged to book this show soon because of its limited availability. Last year over 3,000 children, teachers and family members saw The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel. This year the goal is to expand the tour throughout the state of Kansas and Western Missouri, giving more children with and without disabilities the opportunity to experience the production. The plot focuses on the themes of tolerance, respect and teamwork. Throughout the play, characters of different abilities discover that each of them has a unique voice and skills. Each one

overcomes a specific challenge and uses his or her own ability as a productive part of the team. Following each performance, Accessible Arts artists are available to conduct interactive workshops for individual classes. The post-performance workshops underscore the play’s themes and allow the children to creatively express what they’ve learned through music, movement and visual arts. Children will understand the importance of respect for persons of all abilities and learn the power of teamwork. And they’ll have a great time while they’re learning! The impact on the children with disabilities who participate will be a better understanding of themselves and their peers. Non-disabled children will gain new insights into children with disabilities and how they can interact with them. This production is generously sponsored in part by VSA arts and the Kansas Arts Commission. The cost for a school performance (up to 350 students) is $500. To book a school performance and three arts workshops, the cost is $625. The fee is $800 for theatres and other public venues. Please call Accessible Arts today to receive a free brochure or to book a performance of this exciting production, (913) 281-1133. Or you can visit our website at www.accessiblearts.org

T I P S & T O P S

This column (helpful tips and top-notch topics) is for and by teachers, caregivers, etc. who champion the arts for children with disabilities. We invite your contributions for future inclusion.

Let's Just Dance! by Kit Bardwell The Webster Dictionary’s definition of dance is “to engage in or perform a dance, to move or seem to move up and down or about in quick or lively manner.” This definition disappointed me. As a ‘living room ballerina,’ I thought dance was the use of one’s body to express thoughts, ideas and feelings that cannot be expressed by words; a fluidity of movement, poetry in motion. When working with children, I like to label spontaneous, expressive movement as ‘Creative Movement’ and set formations and steps as ‘Dance.’ In truth, it is difficult to define what dance is when considering the huge array of “quick and lively manners” in which we can move to dance anything from the Macarena to the Viennese Waltz. Nonetheless, dance and creative movement is an important part of our physical experience as human beings. What place does dance have in our education and our American culture? Since it is viewed as a physical activity it is most often relegated to be part of the physical education in our schools. Somehow, we have forgotten the social and aesthetic value of dance. Since our culture is one big melting pot of many traditions, the question may be whose dance shall we do? During his presidency, Eisenhower tried to answer this question by sending a choreographer around the country collecting dances that were to be molded into the “American Dance.” Hence Square Dancing was born. These partnered dances have a sequence of moving patterns that are called out to the dancers by a caller. The tradition of a caller comes from the British Contra Dancing. It allows people to join in a dance without needing to know the sequence of the steps.
When examining my own experience of creative movement and dance in an educational setting I have two memories. My first		memory is of the mid ‘50s where I have a clear image of Miss Smith, my kindergarten teacher, playing the piano while my classmates and I moved
in a circle depicting different animals with our arms and gait. To this day I remember galloping around and thinking, “It can’t get any better than this.” Unfortunately, this wonderful experience ended with Kindergarten. My second memory is of fourth grade where I was required to folk dance in PE. I remember loving everything about this kind of structured dance. Without the opportunity to experience self-expression through movement, children miss out on an immediately accessible way to explore their own physical presence in the world around them. Creative movement and dance gives young children of all abilities the opportunity to explore and experience some of the basics of physics and human anatomy. They learn, for example, that balancing on one foot is hard to do, twirling around makes you dizzy, and that there are many different ways to move through space. They also learn how to share space with other children. Granted, these concepts can be taught through a variety of sports but dance has both aesthetic and social elements. Children have to collaborate in order to create their own dances. They are called upon to make aesthetic judgements. What looks good, what doesn’t? Folk dancing provides a unique structure for socializing. These have always been our dances of courtship. Dancing to music also heightens listening skills. Indeed, dance is a natural kinesthetic response to music. So much so that a number of languages have only one word for both music and dance. Just like their non-disabled peers, children with disabilities need experiences in creative movement and dance. Adaptations can be made for children who use wheelchairs by transferring the movement from feet to hands. Children who have low vision or are blind can dance with a sighted partner. And children who are deaf or hard of hearing can dance to a beat that is felt through the floor. I experienced this while teaching at the North Carolina School for the Deaf where their Clogging Team has won championships against hearing groups. How can we create more opportunities for children to experience creative movement and dance? The answer to this is both easy and complex. The easy answer is to simply engage students in singing games that include dance. The most traditional examples of this are “Ring-around the Rosie” and “London Bridges.” Two excellent resources for additional singing games are 120 Singing Games and Dances for Elementary Schools by Lois Choksy and David Brummit and Step it Down, Games, Plays, Songs and Stories from the Afro-American Heritage by Bessie Jones and Bess Lomax Hawes. The complex answer is to suggest that time, money and space be provided for a visiting teaching artist. Together students and teachers can learn how to explore various subjects from math to weather through creative movement and dance. Whatever your definition of dance is, I encourage you to do it. Dance for yourself. Dance for our children to see you dance. Dance with your friends, your family. Dance because it is part of this experience called life. Dance because it feels good.

Corp of Teens Discover Lewis & Clark

by Eleanor Craig

 

In June, 2003, fourteen teenagers and their adult companions traveled 3000 miles through nine states in 12 days, exploring the land and the peoples of the Northwest in the path of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803-06. This was the sixth trip combining history and the arts in an intense outdoor adventure for teens who are blind or visually impaired. The trips are sponsored by Accessible Arts and the Kansas State School for the Blin and supported by the National Park Service.
	Lewis and Clark set out by river boat with a small group of soldiers, interpreters, and 20,000 pounds of supplies, gifts, and samples of trade goods, pursuing long term trade agreements with Indians and the source of the Missouri River. The corps of teens made gift beads for Indians, canoed one day on the Missouri, even imitating the Corps’ portage of heavy loads around the Great Falls in Montana.
At the foot of the Rockies, the Corps of Discovery transferred more than 8000 pounds of goods to horses, bought from Sacagawea’s Shoshone people, treking over the mountains nearly 300 miles to rivers flowing to the Pacific. The teens rode several hours through the same dense mountain forest.
	Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery raced home from the Pacific in just six months, traveling nearly the same 3000 miles this summer’s group covered in twelve days. Both groups returned eager to share their adventures with a wide public. The teens will teach in schools and talk to adult groups this fall and winter. June 26-28, 2004, they will help create a mural on the Missouri flood wall at Kaw Point during Kansas City’s own commemorations of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial.

The Art of Learning . . . "In their own words" by Beverly Johnson In one word: “Fun”—plus the realization that we learn more when we enjoy the process. That’s where integrated arts come in. The Art of Learning workshops were held in Kansas City and Salina to bring artists and educators together to effectively enhance arts and learning in our schools and communities. A good mix of dancers, jazz artists, musicians, visual artists, educators, and several community providers and administrators, moved within the various groups. Following are the participant’s thoughts about the Art of Learning workshops in their own words. “This workshop laid out a clear path to facilitating the arts program—planning to funding.” Thanks for all—this was awesome! I received lots of information that will benefit my school and KAEA.” ~~ “This workshop laid out a clear path to facilitating the arts program—planning to funding.” ~~ “Fun and laughter integrated into learning; a great combo.” Participants were asked to consider what impact the workshop might make in the way they teach: “Many of the activities are applicable in my classroom.” ~~ “I’m more aware of the standards for both states; therefore, my programming will be more marketable to schools.” ~~ “I am a lot more willing to engage myself aggressively with the IEP process and to approach regular education teachers confidently about the benefits of my discipline.” ~~ “Integrating all of the learning styles into each lesson plan; thinking more creatively as to what gains I can provide for my funders

(to ‘hook’ them).” ~~ “I do not have to figure out everything myself. I can work with others and learn from what others have done.” ~~ “Better understanding of steps on bringing artists into schools.” ~~ “I enjoyed the assessment ideas.” ~~ “I will be looking for weaknesses where I am not reaching the different learning styles.” Participants were also asked, What was the best part of the workshop? “Grouping with our learning style and creating a song, logo, and slogan to fit our descriptions. It was a great, ‘hands-on’ collaborative effort.” ~~ “The team-building—sculptures: pick a topic, build a curriculum and fit art into the curriculum.” ~~ “The Resource Notebook, with additional information, forms and samples.” ~~ “Learning how to market to educators who have to justify the expense of bringing me in.” ~~ “The format used to teach learning styles was the most effective. I really GOT it!” ~~ “Getting perspectives from many artists!” ~~ “Group participation and discussions instead of all lectures—great to see the videos of how things are put into action.” ~~ “The vast amount of information and the genuine interest of the facilitators.”

Participants wrote down what goals they hoped to achieve and they’ll have an opportunity to report on their successes and challenges during one-day follow-up sessions on January 17 in Salina, and January 31 in Kansas City. If you have missed the workshops both years, don’t despair. Tentative plans for a possible five-day session next summer lack only funding to reach fruition.

General Services Administration Provides a Day of Caring by Beverly Johnson Both “Art of Learning” workshops are now completed and the participants loved their training binders, which they related were ‘filled with excellent resources’. Those binders were made possible by the caring hands of Ann Hamil (Arts & Humanities Specialist, Sumner High School) and Connie Deese, Nick Cave, Samm Skare, Larry Gordon and Doretha Vaughn of General Services Administration (GSA Human Resources Dept.) in Kansas City, Missouri. These kind volunteers were participants in a city-wide ‘Day of Caring’ sponsored by the Heart of America United Way. On Saturday, June 21, 2003, members of various businesses united to offer volunteer help to many local non-profit agencies like Accessible Arts. A table full of binder contents was prepared, so the volunteers set their game plan and divided responsibilities for opening packages of dividers, assembling nametag components, and filling 100 binders. During breaks, the volunteers strolled through the campus of the Kansas State School for the Blind, where the Accessible Arts office is located. They also toured our newly renovated arts center and viewed the gallery space that has yet to be renovated pending funding. Throughout the morning and into the afternoon, they snacked on Krispy Kreme donuts and Lucy Lynn coffee cake and shared information about their agencies. The task was well done and Accessible Arts staff greatly appreciated their contribution to the program.

Accessible Arts Receives Award from YOU! by Beverly Johnson The Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU) Award for Outstanding Nonprofit Agency had the following criteria: detailed evidence of commitment, longevity of efforts, creativity of solutions, thoughtfulness in planning, presence of partnerships, maximization of resources, evidence of measurable results, clarity of purpose and effectiveness of efforts. Wow! Could Accessible Arts measure up to all of that? Our staff and board think we do a good job—but how would we compare with the many other organizations that are also doing great work in Wyandotte County and working daily to support children and youth?

The mission of YOU is to develop and maintain collaborative efforts, to advocate and to support services to improve the quality of life for Wyandotte County youth. YOU has gathered approximately 250 organizations and agencies in the county to meet quarterly, listening to each other and seeking ever more effective collaborations for their goals and programs. So we felt honored to be included among the nominees for a YOU Award for Outstanding Nonprofit Agency. Martin English, Beverly Johnson and Accessible Arts Board President Kathleen White attended the YOU Awards Banquet on October 2nd and were very pleased to be handed a certificate for being a nominee. All three were genuinely surprised when the announcement was made that Accessible Arts

had won the award. It was truly an honor and something that Accessible Arts will cherish. The award was a welcome acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of our staff, board, collaborators, and volunteers. It was also a confirmation of the Accessible Arts founders who had a vision of how to better serve, through the arts, the needs of children with disabilities and the adults who work with them.

Accessible Arts
Cultural Access Initiative

In August 2001, a group of twenty-eight participants in the Accessible Arts Cultural Access Initiative descended on Missouri Repertory Theatre. The “Rep” had volunteered to be a guinea pig for the novice group as they learned how to assess accessibility in area arts venues. The Rep received good ratings; however, the areas where they could make improvements were noted for future planning. This fall, the Rep will open with a new look for the disability community. They have added six companion seats and five fully accessible, removable seats that have movable armrests. These are in the back row of the center section, in the first third of the house. They also have the original accessible seats, with companion seats, in Section B at both ends of one row. Rep House Manager Kelly Cooper said, “The doors in the ramp from the lobby into the theatre have been replaced, so they are now up to code for accessibility and rails along the

entry ramp have been replaced to meet access requirements.” Their public restrooms are accessible and a unisex restroom is available upon request. Accessible Arts Executive Director Martin English said, “Accessible Arts’ goal with the Cultural Access surveys was to work with arts venues to build an awareness of effective marketing to the disability community and to show facility management where changes could make their programming more accessible.” There is a significant potential audience of persons with disabilities. In 2000, the number of persons in metropolitan Kansas City (ages 15+) who had vision, hearing and/or mobility impairments was 271,506. The results of the surveys of the Rep and other local arts venues can be found on the Accessible Arts website under Cultural Access. (www.accessiblearts.org)
