Creating Connections through the Arts

Are you interested in making connections with new friends while embracing your creative side? Perhaps your loved one is interested in the theater, music, or dance, and is looking for a way to share their talents.

This month, we are pleased to welcome representatives from three different organizations that foster connections through the creative arts: Bright Invention, Top Hat Dance Studio, and Our Community Cup Coffeehouse.

About our Presenters:

Bright Invention offers safe, fun and meaningful classes and workshops for people of all abilities. Experienced teachers bring creative fun, communication skills, and confidence building to whoever wants to play. "Acting Out!" is open to all youth and young adults with any physical or developmental disability. This class introduces the basics of acting and collaboration in a safe and structured environment. Along the way, participants learn to speak confidently, listen attentively, and work together dynamically!

Top Hat Dance Studio offers a unique program for dancers with intellectual disabilities. Sunday afternoon classes offer instruction in a variety of dance styles with a skilled teacher. Dancers are also invited to participate in an end-of-season recital to show off their new moves.

Our Community Cup Coffeehouse was created by the New Avenue Foundation and the Tree of Life Church. The coffeehouse offers a space for people with disabilities to gather, connect, and enjoy excellent live music from a variety of musicians every Friday night.
