Collaborations
Outside of From Scratch’s core programming, we actively work with other organizations on projects, emphasizing the inherent creative capabilities of students. Collaborations include professional choreography of student pieces, large-scale community composing, broad incorporation of student works into educational curricula, bespoke arrangements, and teacher training. To inquire about collaborating with From Scratch, email us at chicagofromscratch [at] gmail [dot] com.
