Multi-Arts 2001 Children live in a remarkable world that blends fantasy with reality.
Common experiences give way to the unconventional.
Images, sounds, thoughts and feelings interplay in surprising ways. Imagination is stimulated, perceptions are enhanced, and the world is seen anew. This realm of the fantastic can be a powerful domain for learning and the arts are the key to unlock the door. The 2001 multi-arts renewal institute will investigate the power of combining art, dance, music, and theatre. Our touchstone will be the work of Cirque du Soleil, an internationally famous Canadian performance troupe whose goal is to reinvent the circus.
