Teachers
The artists in this year’s World Series performances come
from countries challenged by conflict, revolution, reform and hardship.
This theme will lend itself to a wide range of teaching and learning
opportunities, which we will support with activities on this site
and with other websites to explore. World Series performances offer
exciting gateways through which to expand awareness of such areas
as current social-political events, the importance of history and
geography, and the challenges and opportunities of living on a culturally
diverse planet.
