Arts
Originally recorded in July the latest episode of Hancher Presents is especially relevant to the recent reopening of schools across the country. Emily and Cody chatted with Ali Wieder, who was working at Children's Theatre of Charlotte when the pandemic hit. In addition to talking about this experience Alison talks about helping to organize the theater's children's summer camps this summer. And oh yeah, she happens to be Emily's twin sister! Their conversation echos much of the discussion surrounding kids return to school: how do you effectively teach and manage children when you have to stay socially distant? How did the camp have to change on a fundamental level? (Singing is out "Mask Breaks" are in) How can the arts and education work together to create a fun and vibrant environment in the midst of a pandemic? Tune in for this and more.
