About Mariposa In the Schools
http://www.mits.on.ca

Mariposa In The Schools brings quality, professional performing artists into hundreds of Ontario schools and communities each year, introducing young people to world oral traditions that link past generations to new generations with inspirational stories expressed through music, song, dance, puppetry and spoken word.

Schools and classrooms are invited to view over 50 performing arts programs in many disciplines from our roster of 30 artists from Canada (including First Nations), Africa, the Caribbean and South Asia.

Our artists offer

• intimate classroom hands on learning for individual children
• school and community performances to large audiences
• community gatherings where all participate in song and dance
• professional development for teachers
• programs that align with curriculum learning strands
• programs for special needs, ESL & French speaking classrooms
• equity of access to our programs for under served communities
• interdisciplinary collaborations with other arts organizations
