A Pre-morning show Educational Experience

Recommended for: Grades 5–8

Program Description

Step into a world where creativity takes center stage! Artrageous is an interactive, high-energy performance that blends visual art, music, theater, and dance into one unforgettable experience. Students will watch as artists create giant masterpieces live on stage—painting famous icons and pop culture figures at lightning speed—accompanied by music, choreography, and storytelling that celebrates the power of imagination and teamwork.

Originally founded as a street theatre troupe in Vancouver, Artrageous has traveled the world inspiring audiences from Paris to India. Their unique combination of live action painting, dynamic music, and audience participation transforms the stage into a living canvas of color, sound, and movement. Every show is different because every audience becomes part of the art!

Learning Connections

• Visual Arts: Students see color theory, composition, and technique brought to life through large-scale painting.

• Music & Performing Arts: The integration of rhythm, choreography, and stagecraft demonstrates how art forms work together.

• Teamwork & Creativity: The troupe’s story highlights resilience, collaboration, and the power of artistic expression.

• Cultural Literacy: Students explore art history through tributes to Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Frida Kahlo, and other masters.

Interactive Experience

Students are encouraged to sing, dance, and create along with the performers! Following the performance, students can engage in a Q&A session with professional touring artists—learning what it takes to build a show, travel the world, and pursue a creative career.

Post-Show Activities for the Classroom

Teachers will receive a study guide with hands-on art projects, discussion prompts, and vocabulary to deepen learning. Students can experiment with portrait drawing, explore art styles, and reflect on how music and movement can shape visual storytelling.
