Abstract
In an educational partnership with the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), students from DEE3999 are working to produce videos that bring Disney musicals to urban schools in Rhode Island. The project encourages students from various majors to brainstorm concepts, film on site, and edit to deliver creative and on-strategy videos to the client. The videos highlight the program and inform parents, teachers, and school districts about the importance of the performing arts in grade schools. The design of PPAC’s Disney Musicals in Schools program gives students in urban Rhode Island school districts the opportunity to learn and perform theatrical pieces, which ultimately contribute to their educational experience. Overall, the videos address the importance of arts in grade schools and the overall contribution Disney Musicals in Schools will have on the culture and community of Providence.
