ART. HOPE. HEALING.
Art is a powerful tool that can be used when exploring difficult subject matter in the classroom, representing the human condition and the world in ways that are nuanced and deeply impactful. As a universal language, art can express stories of joy, sadness, courage and fear, helping students understand the human experience in profound ways.
Louisville Ballet and The UK-JHF Holocaust Education Initiative have partnered to create the A Time Remembered Study Guide to help middle and high school educators integrate Holocaust curriculum in their classroom through an interdisciplinary approach.
This online guide uses excerpts from Louisville Ballet’s performance of Stephen Mills’ Light / The Holocaust & Humanity Project along with accompanying lesson plans and arts integration activities to examine the tragedy of the Holocaust. Illuminated through the powerful story of Holocaust survivor Naomi Warren (1920-2016), the ballet takes the audience on a journey that shares Naomi’s story while making relevant connections to the present, told through the lens of dance.
Content areas covered in the study guide include Reading and Writing, Social Studies and the Visual and Performing Arts as it relates to the Kentucky Academic Standards for middle and high school students.
Louisville Ballet is honored to share this FREE resource with educators.
