It surprised me are how fast they got us to write a song and then got people to actually sing along and interact with everything.

The kids watching and participating in her performance didn’t need to be told twice to listen; they
were riveted by Pease’s performance.

Robin Pease was the keynote speaker, a constructive and inspiring addition to the festival....she really held the attention and interest of the entire auditorium. Teachers came away with a better understanding of how to enhance storytelling with dramatic arts principles, and use stories from diverse cultural backgrounds to create activities that address learning standards.
Settlement Music School, Philadelphia PA
I don’t usually gush, but this was FABULOUS! For 45 minutes, Robin Pease held her audience
spellbound (students and adults alike). She skillfully created an awareness of cultural differences while augmenting the children’s awareness of the even greater degree to which we are all alike.

THE LAST FUGITIVE SLAVE performance showed the emotional distress and physical consequences of the slavery institution; Robin incorporated students into her performance, directly having them see the importance of the teaching of history and culture by means of the theatrical arts.
Arts Partnership
The story was creative and highly interactive.

Being that many of our students from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France, Russia and Turkey have limited verbal and listening skills, the visual part of the program created a captive audience.

I thought it was neat how I could be like a real actress.
Sarah, a student Cleveland Heights, OH
The performance was superb. The children were engrossed from start to finish. They wanted more!

Ms. Pease is a very committed artist who works quite well under the pressure of deadlines; I am amazed at how much she is able to accomplish in short periods of time. A strong commitment to excellence is apparent in all of her work. She is very good at keeping people focused on a task or goal and is adept at coordinating multiple simultaneous projects.

I really enjoyed your presentation and had a lot of fun performing. I think you're really cool!
Jacob, a student
I learned plenty!
Miranda, a student
She has a seemingly magical ability to reach a young audience, draw them in, and keep them engaged...from fidgety four-year olds to skeptical fourteen-year olds, and she captivated and entertained as she educated.

Dave Young and Robin Pease came to my class and taught my classmates and me about the fundamentals about writing music and composing music.
