The Civic Circle seeks performers and teaching artists to perform in our assembly show help bring our democracy curriculum alive in arts-based after-school workshops for students age 8-18. Our teaching artists perform in schools and use the arts to convey lessons about seven civic skills we call “steps to democracy,” including civility (Listen!), news literacy (Learn!), and voting (Choose!). The ideal candidate will have a commitment to working with youth, experience using the arts to explore humanities materials, and be a teaching artist in one of the following areas: Singing and songwriting, instrumental music, poetry, theater, spoken word/storytelling, or visual arts. Opportunities to gain broad exposure through our democracy concerts, educational videos and community civic events. For more information, please contact: [email protected].
