Jellybean
Conspiracy Workshop,
a one-day workshop with Howard Martin and Barry Bernstein at Franklin Sixth Grade
school in Wellington, Kansas. The students participated in rhythm, music, and
dramatic sketches which focused on themes of empathy, personal value, tolerance,
respect for self and others -- and FUN. The highlight of the workshop was
'Rhythm Weaving.' The workshop was followed by a student performance of 'Bless
Cricket, Crest Toothpaste and Tommy Tune' through Howard Martin's Jellybean
Conspiracy. This performance featured a high school student with Down Syndrome
as the lead character.
