Kids Show - la Escuelita in Atizapan de Zaragoza










This was such an amazing experience. I lead workshops that facilitated a school community to come together to perform pieces they created from tools that I gave them. It had all of the elements of a fairy tale - fairies, witches & a rock band with dancers. Some of the school volunteers & a teacher were also in the kids' show.

After a short but beautiful guitar recital from a group of 10 local musicians, the teachers & parents performed their piece. I think we all felt the magic of theatre envelop us that afternoon. I think it left lasting impressions. These are photos of the adult group - teachers, volunteers, parents of students at the school & one older sister who took both classes I taught. She had to survive 4 hours of my Spanish. It was an experience I would be happy to repeat.
