Learning is fun and games with I See You Films.
As
a former Teaching Artist in NYC schools, called upon specifically to
make learning fun by incorporating arts into education, Actress,
Cinti Laird always began her classes by equalizing everyone. Setting
the stage for civility, mutual respect and cooperation is fundamental
for students to feel safe in the uninhibited exploration of arts.
Theatrical arts specifically rely on the cooperation, personal growth
and development of each student involved because by nature the craft
of play acting requires that people trust and work together
effectively to achieve common goals. As in life - in art all
are created equal, yet differently. For
example, when it comes to special gifts - each one has something
unique to bring to the table. Without a safe environment some
may never discover their gifts amid the loud noise of ridicule.
Hence, gifts are not to be judged, only nurtured toward their
fullest potential. Children are a gift, our greatest natural
resource. Without children humanity would become extinct. It
is our duty to find ways to overcome a bullying epidemic which continues
to threaten youth longevity.
With
children as young as 7 years old committing suicide to escape
bullying, amid teens and adolescents reaching for fire arms as a way
to even the score against their tormentors - an anti-bullying program
that goes to the root of the problem is finally realized with the I
See You Films Anti-Bullying System. Early Childhood Education
and intervention is key and to that end, the initial system is
designed for children aged 6 through 12. It goes beyond 12
year old's, incorporating community leadership roles for teens and adults. The I See You Films Series I is designed to engage all ages from 6 -100, who want to get involved, have fun with little effort or notice given to it's built in anti-bullying components.
We
know that the I See You Films Series works for Teaching Artists. With a humble heart and a positive attitude a variety of people, volunteering from all walks of life to buy and administer the I See You Films Series can positively impact communities and change lives. For best results, strictly adhere to guidelines and call on us with questions. There is a message box at the bottom of this page where you can send inquiries. One child who would rather face suicide than one more day of being bullied is one child too many. With I See You Films children learn to communicate effectively while working together toward a common enjoyable purposeful production goal. The unity of positive accomplishments where each child is responsible for specific tasks to complete the project fosters healthy dependence upon each other, fostering respect for individual gifts.
If
you are affiliated with a theater, summer camp, youth club, educational institution, religious organization, early childhood development, recreational or after school program we want to hear from you.
We are happy to train your volunteers and staff who can continue to
promote anti-bullying for the long term. It's not something that a
one time seminar will address effectively. Like eating healthy and
keeping fit, making a pledge to be self respectful and respectful of
others is a life-long deal. Keeping the promise will require some
help along the way, however for those who learn early in life, it
will be a natural process. The 8 to 12 week I See You Films Series is a start toward creating healthy habits that
promote cooperation and effective communication toward eliminating
bullying in the process.
Send us an e-mail. We are open to all sorts
of suggestions and to working with people in many situations in order to promote effective early childhood intervention. I See You Films, working to keep childhood child's play with your help in your community because it still takes a village to raise a child.
