What is the Realm?
During this five-day arts-in-education residency, students will learn a range of academic and life skills. Students interact with and explore the Realm to draw conclusions about the story's characters, plot, and themes. Our handcrafted, multi-sensory materials turn the Realm into a differentiated teaching tool that motivates students through entertainment, interaction, and exploration.
