Each week following an artist's post, reflection questions and research ideas will get posted. These are aimed towards college level courses (senior seminar, composition, dance education, and more), but of course anyone can read the postscript and find thought-provoking questions and activities.

Discuss: Executive Director/Artistic Director

Sarah has served as both the ED and AD of Destiny Arts Center. In general, within a dance company or dance organization, how do these roles differ?

Consider: Add to your bookshelf

Sarah wrote a book that shares the artistic process to create original works of art with youth.

Consider adding this to your bookshelf for numerous reasons. One – Destiny Arts is a stellar example of a youth arts program. Second – there are so few books on teaching dance to teens. Stock your bookshelf with ideas and inspiration when you can. You can purchase the book at:

Research: Dance Brigade

Sarah danced for years with Dance Brigade, a longstanding politically based dance company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Familiarize yourself with their work. Spend some time on their website:

Research: Destiny Arts Center

Also spend some time on the Destiny Arts website, reading about their programs and mission in the community. What catches your eye, impresses you, and inspires you?
