Climate Change Documentary Program at Rockaway Park High School for Environmental Sustainability Working within two Art classes, DTE is facilitating a student created documentary on climate change. This media project asks the questions, “How does climate change affect me?” and “How can I affect climate change?” The Rockaways suffered severe damage during Sandy. Many students and staff were displaced from their homes, and from November through the beginning of January, the school was relocated to Maspeth, Queens. This project offers students the opportunity to process their Sandy experiences through filmmaking, and aligns with the school’s commitment to its theme- environmental sustainability. Come watch a screening of the documentary at this year’s Red Hook Fest, May 30th-June 1st! |

New After-School Theatre Program at Park East High School in Harlem DTE has an exciting new partnership with Park East High School in Harlem, where we are offering an after-school Theatre Workshop. Long time DTE teaching artist, Samara Gaev, is leading students through the creation of a short, original piece of theatre. The student response for this program has been huge, and the buzz has spread quickly. A security guard mentioned how much the students talk about the class, and Randi Seltzer, the site coordinator, told us that several students approached her saying, “I’m going to be an actress!” |
