Announcement: As we navigate a leadership transition and focus on financial planning, our summer programming will center on Arts, Care, and Connection. This intentional pause in other activities will help strengthen our foundation as we prepare to relaunch our core Right Brain Initiative this fall—supporting students, schools, and teaching artists with renewed energy and focus. Arts for Learning Northwest remains deeply committed to making arts and creativity accessible to all.

Heather Pearl has been teaching Movement Education at Cedarwood Waldorf School for 19 years. Pearl has also been a performing artist for even longer. In this workshop, she brings decades of experience of what works to guide students to be ready to learn. (whether it is theater or reading). Pearl will teach numerous opening exercises to cross the midline, calm the nervous system, and sharpen focus. The same exercises that begin a good theater class, can begin a good reading class.
The workshop will also include partner and small group creative activities as well as whole class theatrical games. Pearl’s workshop is designed to teach activities that can be used the next day and many days beyond, to hopefully support the everyday teaching, as well as bringing theatrical elements when desired.
