Stories that Move and Sing

	Stories That Move and Sing is an active storytelling program, led by Julia Morris, for children, teachers, and parents which integrates creative movement, drama, and music. The three tools of active arts engagement, the body, voice, and imagination are awakened, bringing literature alive and fostering early language and learning.
THE PROGRAM	We need to discover an arts literacy — what it means to be literate in sign systems like the dramatic.
Children from Preschool to 6th Grade — Residencies and performances which foster oral and kinesthetic language expression and build literacy skills based on the New York State Standards in Language Arts.	Julia Morris Storyteller and Early Childhood Arts Specialist

Early Childhood-Elementary School Teachers, Teaching Artists and Parents — Through workshops, lectures, and Parent Nights, adults are introduced to practical methods in oral telling, music and movement, and the uses of creative drama for young children.
