Honoring Stories through Performance

Performance engages young learners as "entire people, physically, mentally, vocally in the creation and exploration of text" Gus Weltsek. Gus illustrates through his work shown in this video how he encourages and uses the young men's own stories so that they can begin to use these experiences to understand and engage in the curriculum of school in a personal way. Truly honoring students lives through story empowers these learners.
