In addition to the theatre experience, QPAC provides a range of materials and events encouraging greater understanding and enjoyment of the live arts. Learning and engagement opportunities will enrich the in-theatre experience for all patrons, and support formal learning contexts for students.
KITE Arts Education Program @ QPAC
KITE program at QPAC is an early childhood arts education initiative of Education Queensland in partnership with Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC). KITE delivers relevant contemporary arts education experiences for Prep to Year 3 students and their teachers across Queensland.
We believe: • Children thrive when given access to a creative life. • Schools succeed in multiple ways when teachers, students and families become part of the arts and cultural participation. • Arts education experiences in early childhood are of particular significance as they have the power to impact positively on brain development. • Arts education programs in schools are of particular benefit to under-resourced communities. • Ongoing conversations with households, teachers and students provoke new thinking and practices in early phase arts delivery.
To achieve our vision, we Engage, Participate and Enable by creating and facilitating: • Performances • Participative art projects • Professional development services • Partnerships
Upcoming Event
