SUMMARY:Session D3. Joyful Learning: The Story of STEAM Told Through the Joy of Art Making
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nChristell Lewis\, Executive Director\, Young Audiences of Northern California\nKirah Caminos\, Director of Programs\, Young Audiences of Northern California  \nSince 2019\, Young Audiences of Northern California (YANC)\, in partnership with the South San Francisco Unified School District\, has supported the district’s STEAM Summer School through curriculum development and program delivery. Serving 3rd–8th grade students\, the program integrates Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts\, and Mathematics through hands-on\, project-based learning. Students build essential 21st-century competencies—Communication\, Critical Thinking\, Creativity\, and Collaboration—while also supporting their social–emotional wellbeing.  \nIn summer 2025\, YANC conducted an in-depth observation and evaluation process to better understand the program’s impact. Our goal was to collect qualitative data that captured the lived\, human experience of STEAM learning. Through classroom observations\, interviews with teachers\, students\, and teaching artists\, and reflective conversations\, we gathered stories that illuminated not just what students learned\, but how they felt\, grew\, and connected. These narratives revealed the joy of learning\, the power of creative problem-solving\, and the ways students saw themselves as capable thinkers and makers. They also informed the creation of a short film and a collection of poems and monologues inspired by participant voices. In this session\, we will share YANC’s observation framework and explore how narrative—through story\, film\, and art—helps us more deeply understand\, communicate\, and honor the true impact of our work.

SUMMARY:Session D2. Dramatic Adventures: Creating Original Stories with Children
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nAli Oliver-Krueger\, Master Teaching Artist\, Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts  \nParticipants will explore drama strategies for creating lively stories and miniature plays with young children. The story-building process provides children with opportunities to practice key literacy\, cognitive\, and social emotional skills\, use their imaginations\, collaborate\, and have fun! No prior theatre experience is needed… just a willingness to explore\, imagine\, and try something different! In this session\, participants will explore and apply strategies/techniques for creating\, or “devising” stories collaboratively with a group of young children. This session centers around supporting young children through the full storytelling process using different types of text. The session demonstrates how to center the voices of young children in creating and telling stories\, emphasizing developmentally appropriate practice for collaborating with young children and encouraging their leadership in the crafting\, telling\, and sharing of stories.

SUMMARY:Session D1. Embodied Narratives: Telling Our Personal and Collective Stories Through Dance and Movement
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:\nJennifer Puig\, Dance & Movement Teaching Artist\, Arts for Learning Miami  \nHow do we tell our stories when words are not enough? This interactive\, movement-based workshop explores how dance and embodied narrative practices can center voice\, identity\, power\, and collective storytelling in educational and community spaces. Grounded in dance/movement therapy principles\, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)\, and inclusive arts education\, participants will engage in experiential tools including Laban Movement Analysis\, the Four Elements framework (Air\, Fire\, Earth\, Water)\, mirroring techniques\, and the BrainDance developmental sequence to explore both personal and collective narratives.  \nParticipants will embody: Air as personal narrative\, breath\, and idea sharing; Fire as power\, voice\, boundaries\, and advocacy; Earth as grounding\, embodiment\, and ancestral presence; Water as relationships\, empathy\, and emotional flow. Through guided improvisation\, group mirroring\, and collective choreography\, participants will experience how movement becomes a tool to center whose stories are told\, how they are received\, and how collective meaning is created. The session aligns directly with the conference theme\, Telling Our Story\, while offering replicable\, trauma-informed\, and inclusive movement strategies for classrooms\, residencies\, and community-based arts programs.
