Alsace Township Theatre and Animation workshop
Jan, with the help of Dhira, Julia, and artist Jody Wood, offered a 6-week long theatre and animation workshop to children in the Playground Program at nearby Alsace Township. The goal was to add an inter-generational component to a local history project that some of the older members of the township have initiated.
