IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCIES

In these unique classes kids will engage with creative play using HTL!’s collaborative rehearsal process and aesthetic. Through movement activities, shadow play and shadow puppetry kids will explore ensemble driven creation together. These classes will help excite the imagination spontaneity, and the creator in us all.

COLLEGE PROGRAMS

Through its in-school workshops, HTL! equips students with the tools to think like artists and to explore what it takes to be part of a modern theater company. Using the collaborative rehearsal techniques that define HTL!’s process and aesthetic, the company inspires imagination, spontaneity, and the creator within each student. The curriculum is designed to center ensemble-driven work, fostering shared creativity and collective storytelling.
