The matinee performance of Project Orpheus is open to students of all grade levels city wide. In the current educational climate which tends to focus almost exclusively on test scores for reading and math, education in dance is intended to give students an important learning experience about the arts and to explore new ways of thinking. The matinee performance will be interspersed with actual lectures that demonstrate some of the key components of dance as an artistic medium.
