EPIC Access
Arts Education for All.
EPIC actively works with in-school partners and community organizations to provide neuro-inclusive arts programming all over.
These classes support increased social-emotional skill building and introduce neuro-diverse students to an accessible path in the arts at a young age.
EPIC also speaks with organizations at conferences, events and panels about the power, importance, and necessity of neuro-diverse inclusion in the arts and all facets of our society.
See below for information on how to bring EPIC to your school, organization, event or professional development.
EPIC Social Arts Series
EPIC Players has developed a unique series of social arts classes focused on social-emotional skill building through the arts that are accessible, individualized and fun. EPIC’s programs are taught by teaching artists trained in our BE EPIC method and developed by a team or artists, inclusive educators, social workers and neuropsychologists. All classes are assistant taught by EPIC company members. Classes have been developed for students 3rd-5th Grade, Middle School and High School.
“We had EPIC this spring and they just loved it. The way they opened up was simply glorious; All shyness disappeared, and their smiles were ear to ear. They performed and participated like true actors! ”
— New York City District 75 Educator
Students Onstage
EPIC is also equipped to bring a remote, neuro-inclusive theater experience to classrooms and organizations city-wide. Working together with your students, EPIC will fully write, develop and stage productions that are meaningful, adaptive and fun. EPIC can also partner to create inclusive musical theater performance experiences with student favorites or original works based on student narratives and co-teaching themes.
EPIC Presentations
EPIC would be happy to speak with your organization, theatre, or community on the power of—and necessity for—neuro-diversity in the arts. EPIC has spoken with various organizations around the country and continues to do so virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.
