Pioneer Center Youth Programs
Who we are -
Pioneer Center Youth Programs is the education outreach division of the
Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts.
What we do -
We present live
performing arts programs in elementary schools and
public library branches throughout northern Nevada.
Programs are available to all public, private, charter,
and Montessori elementary schools within a 100-mile
radius of Reno. These culturally-rich programs
emphasize artistic quality, educational values, and
audience participation.
Why we do it -
We are
committed to the belief that the arts are an essential
part of every child's education and that a person's love
and appreciation for the arts stems from his or her
earliest experiences. By bringing our artists directly
into the schools and libraries, we facilitate an
up-close, personal interaction with the arts that many
children would otherwise never receive! As these
children grow into adulthood, they will fondly remember
these early experiences and will continue to make the
arts a part of their lives. |

Artistic Quality
Bruka's Theatre for Children
2010-2011 Season
Your
performances have always been awesome. You immediately
involve the audience and keep us involved. Your humor is
hysterical and the connection or chemistry is awesome.
Your energy passes on to the audience and remains for
the entire performance. Five star production.

Teacher, E.M. Johnson Elementary
Erika Paul Carlson Trio
2010-2011 Season
She
was excellent with the students. She kept their
attention through the entire performance. The students
enjoyed it and for many of them, this was their first
introduction to jazz. Thank you to the Pioneer for
providing our students with this cultural experience!!

Educational Value
The Platt Brothers
2010-2011 Season
Their performance clearly sent a positive message
towards becoming a more focused student and in taking
control of any situation. I now use their keyword,
“enthusiasm,” when presenting the curriculum, and I ask
my students how enthusiasm can affect their work when
completing an assignment or when setting goals.

Teacher, Gardnerville Elementary
Xian Na Carlson
2010-2011 Season
It
was very educational and related to our home school
topic of culture, traditions, and ethnic groups. Loved
the group participation and educational information
about Chinese culture.

Audience Participation
Kahurangi
2010-2011 Season
This
is one of the best Pioneer programs we’ve ever had! The
performers were knowledgeable, skilled dancers, singers,
and musicians, and displayed incredible costumes. Their
interaction and rapport with the audience was excellent
and we all enjoyed the chance to dance with them.”

Librarian, Incline Village Library
Reno Irish Dance
Company
2010-2011 Season
Inviting students of all ages to perform is a good idea.
It helps to show that no matter your age, you can do
anything. The arts are so needed and these performances
are encouragement to the students.
