A Program On Environmental Awareness Environmental problems are real and they affect all of us. Children often feel they have no control over the future of our planet and are powerless to change the outcome. This original program created by Scot Cannon focuses on individual responsibility as the answer to saving the Earth. Using storytelling, movement and active audience participation, Scot encourages students to be aware of the environment and the need for change. He helps them understand the causes of pollution and the importance of conserving water, energy and natural resources. He assures students that they do have the power to “preserve, conserve and give our planet what it deserves” - explaining the little things they can do to make a difference. Scot believes that teaching children to protect the world is the answer to preserving our planet, and his entertaining, encouraging manner inspires the children to believe it too. Grades K-6 |  | PUSH Physical Theatre | Gravity-defying PUSH Physical Theatre has been called a cross between fine art sculpture and the hit movie The Matrix. You have never seen anything like this before; it’s cool, it’s athletic, it’s entertaining, it’s impossible to resist. Once you’ve experienced PUSH, you will know the strength of the human soul expressed by the power of the human body. This theatre of the body features performers who appear to manipulate time and space in a live environment. The performers communicate with movement, challenging students to transpose what they see into thoughts and words. The troupe guides the audience throughout the program, raising their awareness, as the choreography deals with issues such as: diversity, conflict resolution, the principles of science, the arts, and other New Jersey and New York learning standards. Selected work from PUSH’s repertoire is chosen to enhance your core curriculum and can be changed to fit your specific needs. Individual pieces are given context that is age appropriate to help students interpret the work on a level that is relevant to them. Grades K-12; College & Adult • Great Family & Community Program Also Available |  | Slam Dunk Positive Choices | Former Harlem Globetrotter, Derek “The Wizz” Murphy Students’ heads spin almost as fast as Derek Murphy’s basketball in this fast-paced, entertaining Character Ed program. Using his skills and his Harlem Globetrotter’s fame as a springboard, Derek “The Wizz” Murphy slam-dunks his message about values, goals, respect, and the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Audience participation is key in this program, as students learn basketball tricks and the spirit of cooperation and concentration, while listening to stories about making good choices, turning to respected adults to help with decision making, setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Derek encourages students to develop good study habits (preparation and practice bring results); stand up for what they believe is right (don’t be afraid of speaking out); respect one another (bullying hurts and the reasons why some people are bullies). The lessons students take away from this assembly will extend beyond their school years and into adulthood. Derek really connects with students and they enthusiastically respond to his questions and thrill to his antics. Through his efforts students are encouraged, motivated and inspired to make choices that are positive, constructive and drug free. His unique program has helped students all over the country to achieve their full potential. Grades PreK-8 (Program content and presentation is adapted to be age appropriate)
