Pendragon Classroom Workshops

In the Spring of 2025, Pendragon is excited to offer Classroom Workshops for elementary schools within the Adirondack Park!

 

K-5 classroom teachers are invited to click the link below to request that a Pendragon Teaching Artist come to their classroom and lead a 45-minute drama workshop with their students.

 

What will be the Workshop Content?

Teachers can choose from three distinct workshop offerings, or request a specific theme or content for their classroom. Descriptions of each workshop are in the linked survey below.

 

Who will be our Teaching Artist? 

In the spring of 2025, Dr. Katherine E. Norman will lead all Pendragon Classroom Workshops.

Katherine has worked as a theatre educator with tens of thousands of students of all ages all over the world. She holds a PhD in Educational Psychology, is a licensed New York State child care provider, and is excited to get to know the teachers and students in the North Country!

 

What is the cost?

For the Spring of 2025, Pendragon is offering this program free of cost for all Adirondack public elementary schools. (This means that we may not be able to meet all requests if demand is greater than our current capacity.) 

 

Why is Pendragon offering Classroom Workshops?

We believe that every child has the right to access relevant, meaningful, and joyful arts learning! Part of achieving that mission is traveling to meet students where they are. We are excited to come visit you at your school!

As this is a pilot program, please note:

• We may not be able to accommodate every request; if you’re interested in this opportunity, then be sure to register early.

• If there are multiple teachers or classrooms in your school that would like workshops, then please plan to have all workshops occur on the same day.

• If you teach middle or high school, or with a private/charter/homeschool group and are interested in having a Pendragon Teaching Artist visit your classroom, please click on the link and indicate that interest in the survey. Knowing what teachers in our region want will help us shape future programming and raise funds to expand our offerings!
