Storytelling through Dance
Youth Voices: Poetry Project
A partnership between Philadelphia Ballet and Creative and Performing Arts High School
In Spring 2023, Creative Writing students at the Creative and Performing Arts High School (CAPA) worked with writer Tammi Markowitz through a series of creative writing workshops. These students produced poetry that dancers from Philadelphia Ballet interpreted. Produced by Big Picture Alliance, this film captures the connections between the dancers’ movements and students’ writing, demonstrating how these two artistic mediums inform and inspire one another.
Thank you to teachers Tammi Markowitz and Rachel Harr for their work with these young writers.
