These ongoing satellite programs are growing in popularity and are providing beneficial returns to the college, according to Phillip C. Carter, associate provost for academic affairs. Carter said the collaboration between the Arizona schools and SUSC began about four years ago when the services and knowledge of the Utah Shakespearean Festival were used to entertain and educate school children in the Paradise Valley School District. Since that time, this informal partnership has grown to the point that the Tucson, Mesa and Peoria School Districts have adopted similiar projects. The basic idea of this undertaking is to provide lectures, demonstrations and insights on the life and times of William Shakespeare, Carter said. The most successful example of this joint venture is Horizon High School in the Phoenix area. Carter said Horizon faculty, supervisors, leaders and PTA members, under the direction of Horizon art teacher Barbara Berrett, went into intense planning last February and then came to Cedar City for the 1989 Shakespearean Festival. With this foundation, Horizon made William Shakespeares writings, culture and times the theme for the year. This focus is entitled Will Power. Horizon High School Principal John Stollar, Jr., said the intent of the project is to involve all subject areas in a thematic program with activities ranging from studies of Elizabethan music and dance to technology and architecture. Stollar said the Will Power theme alludes to the motivation or willpower to apply oneself in all educational areas. He said, The programs and activities are designed to encourage teamwork in all subject areas and levels, with the community and other school systems providing more research, study and interest than is possible in a single course of study. Douglas Baker, theatre assistant professor, said that under their guidance, more than 400 High, Middle and Elementary school children were taught in different areas of the Will Power theme. These efforts will culminate in the children performing and exhibiting their different learned talents at the end of the year. SUSCs involvement in this program provides a two-fol- d benefit, Baker said. First of all it promotes the arts as an academic area. He said people often have the misconception that theatre, music and art are not legitimately academic, but this program illustrates benefits. their multi-leve-l, of Baker is so convinced its impact he would like to put together a program and book so it can be duplicated in any school system. Secondly, the exposure of Arizona students to SUSCs faculty and programs is a great recruiting tool. Baker said he has been approached by a number of students expressing interest in all areas of study including history, art, social study and theatre. Both Continuing Education, the Utah Shakespearean Festival have helped Horizon in their curriculum objectives, said Carter.
