How It Works
The world is a click away
Follow These Easy Steps
Step 1
Choose an Artist
- Explore performing artists from around the world through our Find an Artist page. Browse by location, tradition, art form or cultural connection, and discover how cultures connect across communities.
- Once you select an artist and schedule your virtual visit, explore the full classroom curriculum, including pre- and post-visit activities on each artist’s page.
Step 2
Get Ready
- Before meeting the artist, students complete approximately 45 minutes of classroom activities introducing the performing artist, their tradition, and their community.
- At the center of each program is a 12–15 minute documentary, where students hear directly from the artist, experience their work, and begin building connections before the live visit.
Step 3
Meet Your Performing Artist
- Students join a live 45–60 minute virtual visit led by the artist and moderated by a folklorist, ethnomusicologist, or cultural expert. Through demonstrations, conversation, and Q&A, students engage directly with living cultural traditions.
Step 4
Bring it Home
- Post-visit activities encourage students to reflect on what they learned and explore their own cultural identities through our Bringing It Back Home lessons. Each program includes hands-on creative projects that can be completed individually or as a class.
