COVID-19 has not only altered the economy and how we work and recreate, but it has also has upended the typical school experience for a generation of young people. As part of Arts in the Schools Month, Arlington Public Schools in partnership with Arlington Arts presents Collaboration During Isolation, allowing theatre students to express their dreams and hopes for the future as well as gain new skills with the latest video projection technology.
How do young people process the realities of a pandemic? How does a teen awaken to new perspectives and viewpoints? Exploring such questions through their creations, the students will display videos on an 8-by-14-foot screen built in the shape of a head and speech bubble.
