Introducing SPARKLE
CM Performing Arts Center is thrilled to introduce SPARKLE, an exciting new dramatic play and performing arts program created specifically for neurodivergent students ages 13–19.
Developed in coordination with our Accessibility & Inclusion Consultant, Dr. Dennis McElheron of DJM Consulting Services Inc., SPARKLE provides a welcoming, supportive environment where every student is encouraged to explore, create, and shine!
Through theatre games, dramatic play, music, movement, and creative expression, students will discover new forms of holistic communication while building confidence and unlocking their unique performance talents. SPARKLE focuses on the whole student, using the joy of the performing arts to encourage :
- socialization
- verbal and nonverbal communication
- imagination
- spatial and personal awareness
- rhythmic movement coordination
Every SPARKLE session will lead to a special showcase for family and friends, giving students the opportunity to take the stage, celebrate their accomplishments, and proudly share what they have learned and created!
At SPARKLE, there is no single way to create. Every student brings something unique to the stage. We can’t wait to see them shine!
