Bringing a Live Performance to Your School for the First Time?

If your school has not welcomed an artist or company before, you may not know where to begin. The following is intended to guide you through the process of creating a “Performing Arts Program” in your school for the first time.

STEP 1: THE BENEFITS

For the Students

Gain additional knowledge (cultural, historical, geographical, social)
Exposure to culturally diverse performing arts that they may otherwise not experience
Encourages an appreciation for arts from an early age
Out-of-class time is reduced

For the School

Enhances curriculum; injects arts into school programs
Replaces costly off-site school trips
Reduces out-of-class time and expenses
Reduces liability associated with transporting students by bus

For the Parents

Parents save money on otherwise more costly multiple out-of-school trips
Sense of appreciation that children are getting exposure to culturally diverse events
Reassurance that the school is committed to providing varied learning opportunities

Step 2: Introducing a "Performing Arts Program"

Present the idea to the school council and administration.
If necessary, survey the parents through the school newsletter or at a special meeting.
Select a school council or staff member to serve as the "Arts Coordinator".
Inform the parents and staff about the "Performing Arts Program" and tell them the benefits to students, the school and the parents.
Establish funding for the "Performing Arts Program" with the school council or school administration.
Begin planning the "Performing Arts Program" calendar in the spring for next season’s performances.

Step 3: The Planning Process

Ideally, the planning process starts at the end of the school year so that by the start of the next year all events are booked and necessary arrangements are in place for first performances.

Review Prologue performances and workshops
Contact one of the Prologue sales staff for more information
Obtain approval for bookings (from principal, school council)
Confirm bookings with Prologue
Finalize funding
Inform other staff and parents
Arts Coordinator monitors return of forms and payment
Arts Coordinator acts as contact prior, on the day of and after the performance
