The Cultural Kaleidoscope

The Cultural Kaleidoscope is a unique cultural arts program based in Kansas city, Missouri. The company has been bringing multicultural educational programs to students throughout the Midwest for 20 years. The four different Kaleidoscope programs each focus on a different country: Russia, Ukraine, Ireland and Australia. All of the presenters are professionals in the arts and offer their materials through a combination of assemblies and workshops which teach about the country and its culture through native music, dance and folk art. In a one-day program, the teaching-artists offer two assemblies and four workshops sessions. In an Artist in Residence program, they spend up to five days in the school providing students and teachers with hands-on experiences and personal interaction with the presenting artists. “Teaching Resource Guides,” which enhance the educational experience for each of the presentations, were created with state and national standards in mind. A program-specific guide is given to each school at the time of booking. Each guide supports curriculum needs.

Technical requirements: four 6’ or 8’ tables, two straight-back chairs without arms (not folding chairs,) cart for company’s video projector and two long extension cords. Company provides their own sound system.

Fee structure: One day or residency programs $1,222 to $5,712. SDAC support up to 50%. Prices are negotiable.
