Fantastic Creatures

Grades K-8

Embark on our Fantastic Creatures Outreach Program!

You can choose between:

Performance element: Join Professor Kris Garfunkle Spark and Professor Alex Danger Maze as they recount their most recent fantasy creature discovery expedition! The professors discovered beloved creatures from movies, books, and  TV, and they need your student’s help to identify them and learn more.  

• 30-minute presentation we can bring to any size group! 
• Optional post-performance stage visit for several classrooms. 
• Ideal for students Grades K-4.
  
  

Workshop: Your classroom will become a group of explorers, discovering never-before-found species of fantasy creatures! Taking what we already know about animal biology and habitats, we will use our imagination to create and become unique creatures. Each discovery team will get to study REAL creature specimens to inform their creations.  

• 60-minute workshop for a group of 30 students maximum.  
• Ideal for students Grades 3-8

Can’t Look Away: Creating Your Own Mini Horror Story

Grades 9–12 | 80 mins

How do horror filmmakers elicit specific responses from their audience? In this workshop, we’ll study a scene from Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” (2017) and then use what we learn to create our own mini horror stories.

Horror can include intense content and topics, so we’ve designed our workshop to avoid potential triggers. “Triggers” refer to sights, sounds, and experiences that remind them of a former trauma. As we create together, we’re going to avoid content that depicts violence, weapons, and gore.
