NEWThe place where it happens
Rehearsals happen in the school and spill out onto the harborfront. Kids play sea lions, tourists, fishermen, and the island itself.
Cultural exchange
What we learn
We learn how a tiny island holds a huge web of relationships—people, animals, policy, and the sea.
What we share
We share playful devising methods that let kids make big ecological questions feel personal and immediate.
Moments from the Floreana Youth Ensemble Drama Club
Community & context
On a small island where everyone knows everyone, the club becomes a shared ritual: nearly every child in the community has stepped onstage at some point.
Shared community needs
- Materials and costumes that can handle sea spray and sun
- Occasional travel support for visiting teaching artists
- Documentation tools so kids can see their growth over time
