During in-depth residencies in English, History and Economics classrooms , Epic works with classroom teachers to guide students in the exploration of the relationship between individuals and their society. Working with Epic Teaching Artists, students write and perform theatre productions that inspire and awaken civic engagement. Projects include:

SAMPLE RESIDENCIES:

1) Science Ethics residency, using research and arts techniques to explore either the errors of scientists who regretted or abandoned their work or contemporary ethical challenges in scientific/technological innovation today.

2) The Culture Project, which can be employed by any subject area teacher, using the nationally-recognized Epic youth production DEFAULT to kick-off student development of their own visions of Culturally-Responsive Sustaining Education.

3) The Antigone Project, a strong choice for English and Theatre classrooms, begins by exploring Sophocles’ 2500-year-old play about a young woman speaking truth to power, then students collaboratively construct, write, and produce an adaptation for the current moment.

4) Human Rights Theatre Project, ideal for an ELA, History, or Civics curriculum, asks students to balance research and creativity in order to bring a current human rights issue to life. They select a news article about a current human rights violation. Inspired by their selections, students research, write, and revise a short human rights play.
