Academy Arts for All is an inclusive program offering a platform for those with learning differences to create, express, and perform under the direction of professional theatre artists. Academy special population courses (AFA) integrate elements of movement, music, dance, performance, and vocalization which result in building participant confidence and self-expression. With a focus on teamwork, these courses create a cognitively-challenging environment where individuals are encouraged to develop social skill sets and creativity. The A.D. Players Performing Arts Academy offers a range of programming for artists with learning differences. Nurturing the mind, body, and spirit of the artist is foundational to all Academy courses.
