This week Festival Director Anne Morris speaks with Lesa Broadhead, teaching artist and director of the Dance Theatre of DREAMS, at the DREAMS Center for Arts Education in Wilmington, NC. The mission of DREAMS is to create a culture of confidence for youth and teens through equitable access to arts education. Lesa talks about how she overcame the initial challenge of transitioning from leading college-level dance programs to an after-school dance program, how she collaborates with others in the community to provide pre-professional experiences to her students, and the joy of nurturing the natural creativity and curiosity of young children.
"In Process" is sponsored by Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist's Performing Arts Medicine Clinic: WakeHealth.edu/PerformingArtsMed
