Art with Heart

jpas2019_logo_ArtwithHeartV2

Art with Heart at JPAS fosters mindfulness, empowerment, and artistic expression through an inclusive youth theater program. It supports children and teens with diverse special needs while providing mentorship and leadership opportunities for neurotypical and typically able youth.

Embracing differences, the program provides a safe, nurturing space for children to learn from one another, celebrating uniqueness both on and off the stage. It’s an opportunity to build confidence, make friends, and create quality theater. Through adaptive classes, led by professional veterans, this multi-disciplinary arts initiative encourages collaboration and expression for all children, regardless of their challenges.

If the JPAS class you are interested in joining has already begun and online registration is no longer available,
please email arobinson@jccdallas.org your request; she would be happy to assist you. 

Art with Heart Broadway Revue

Come sing, dance and act in our Art with Heart Broadway Revue!   We will highlight Broadway musical favorite numbers and take the J Stage.  This class will culminate with a showcase for family and friends.  We can’t wait to create theatre magic with you!

Theater Magic for Everyone

  • Special Needs Youth: A creative space for youth with Intellectual, neurological, developmental and disabilities.
  • Energy Buddies: A unique mentorship and leadership opportunity for neurotypical youth!

The Energy Buddies program pairs neurotypical and typically able youth JPAS kids with special needs performers to foster friendship and support while creating inclusive theater. Mentored by JPAS staff, they’ll focus on leadership, mentorship, friendship-building, inclusivity, empathy, performance collaboration, and community engagement. It’s a valuable opportunity to develop skills while creating an inclusive, artistic community.
