These powerful programs focus on increasing the communication abilities of adults with autism through movement, yoga and visual arts. The artists seek to establish comfortable environments in which to practice important relational skills such as eye contact, verbal and nonverbal skills, participation, communication and interaction. This unique course works well with nonverbal and verbal autistic adults. The several nonverbal adults have smiled, laughed and danced at the possibility to communicate through the arts.

ArtStream will continue its partnership with the ARC of Montgomery County for the 2008-2009 season. We will offer courses in movement and drama for adults with disabilities.

In association with the American Red Cross, ArtStream brings the arts to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Programs combine music, visual art, poetry and storytelling all brought to bedsides of returning veterans who are recieving treatment. Soldiers and their families alike benefit from active engagment in the arts, both creatively and therapeutically. Research suggests active engagment in the arts helps alleviate anxiety and depression and may be able to shorten hospital stays.
Interactive Storytelling
Ermyn King, Art
Stream's Director Hospital and Hospice Programs, performs interactive
storytelling for small groups of patients and family members at local
hospitals. Recently, Ermyn's storytelling program was spotlighted in
the Children's Inn Spring 2010 newsletter Innspirations.
"Through this
wonderful medium, Inn residents are given the opportunity to experience
empowerment and connect with heroes and heroines from traditional and
cross-cultural tales."

Puppet Show Series
Available for booking NOW
ArtStream is proud to present our Puppet Series. We offer puppet shows for young audiences, each with a special healing or enlightening theme. Each show is between 30 and 40 minutes in length, and can be combined with a puppet-making workshop, for an additional fee.
Annie & Danny: based on a theme of diligence and perseverance in the face of adversity, while still giving of one’s self. Great for kids age 3-7, especially those dealing with disappointment or hardship. Highly interactive.
Emily’s Dragon: specifically written for children dealing with disabilities or illness. Deals with themes of “seeing your inner power, or magic within.” Appropriate for ages 5-10.
A Christmas Carol: the classic Dickens tale, told interactively, highlighting themes of caring, giving and selflessness. Great for helping kids become aware of reaching-out to those less fortunate. Appropriate for ages 5-12.
The Pirate’s Jules: Highly interactive, for kids age 3-12. Focuses on themes of the importance of the arts, play, fun, interaction with others, and setting aside the fixation on material things. Great for reminding us all to make the best of the here and now, and appreciate the treasure of family and friends.
