In an effort to help you know what to expect from each festival event and to decide which events you’ll most enjoy, we’ve created a Level Ground tagging system.
Story Pirates on Bullying
Story Pirates is a theatrical troupe of musicians and improvisers who transform children’s creative stories into professional, loud, and hilarious stage shows. Founded in 2004, Story Pirates has become a leading innovator in creative children’s education, finding ways to foster imaginative development through storytelling.
Their fun and memorable performances will not only inspire your imagination, they have been called “crazy entertaining” by The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart. Over the past ten years, Story Pirates has invited tens of thousands of students to see their own words and ideas come to life on stage, and watched as, one by one, these children begin to call themselves writers.
While children are often left out of complex conversations about identity, faith, and sexuality, the impacts of these conversations are often manifested in painful displays of bullying at school. Level Ground believes in the importance of storytelling for giving voice to individual experiences and encouraging honest conversations, even (and especially) for children. We hope you and your family will consider attending this free workshop event put on by a talented group of performers. (A.C.N.)
