If you have a music, dance or theater performance that can electrify school audiences across New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, we want to hear from you!

Young Audiences of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania (YANJEP) is seeking new assembly programs for grades PreK-12, led by teaching artists who love not just sharing their art form, but educating children about it.

In our assemblies, students will experience art performed and shared by professional artists. They will understand the art form, its cultural contexts and creative processes. They will also create through interactive participation and connect program content with their personal experiences, other academic learning, and/or life-skill development.

Here’s some of what our school partners are looking for:

TOPICS & SPECIALTIES

  • Character Education
  • Greek Mythology (Perseus, Odyssey, Sisyphus, etc.)
  • Science and Environment

ART FORMS

  • Instrumental Music (especially string groups!)
  • African Dance (especially in North Jersey)
  • Bollywood Dance Ensembles
  • Performance Poetry (grades K-6)

and more!

Artists with bilingual Spanish-English programs and those who serve South Jersey are highly encouraged to apply.
