CULMINATING EVENTS IN SCHOOLS ENGAGE ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND PARENT COORDINATORS, AND THE STUDENTS' WORK IS SHOWCASED. ALL RESIDENCIES ARE CONDUCTED BY LEAP TEACHING ARTISTS, A HIGHLY TRAINED GROUP OF MORE THAN 400 PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS REPRESENTING A WIDE VARIETY OF SPECIALTIES, INCLUDING POETRY, DANCE, THEATER, MUSIC, VISUAL ARTS, FASHION, DESIGN, AND THE MOVING IMAGE.
