Wonder Workshop Created by artist Phillida Eves in collaboration with composer/musician Michael Chang and choreographer/dancer Monica Muñoz, the Wonder Project had a week long residency in our school where the children are co-creators of the experience. The Wonder Project is an interactive, sensory experience for the children. Live music, movement and a feast of sensory engagement lead the children to discover and explore their own stories, dance, and creativity.
