What if your child could step into a museum and become part of history?
Join us for Museum Explorers: Little Luminaries with Mari Deoleo, a seven-week, high-energy, imagination-powered program designed especially for children ages 5–7. Inspired by the vibrant life of Josephine Baker and the dynamic artists featured in Paris in Black, this engaging experience transforms museum learning into creative play.
Through movement, storytelling, improvisation, and collaborative activities, young participants will explore history in exciting new ways while building confidence, creativity, and social skills.
During this fun-filled journey, children will:
• Jump into movement-based storytelling adventures
• Invent unforgettable characters
• Play high-energy improv games
• Practice listening, teamwork, and creative problem-solving
• Build confidence in a joyful and supportive environment
7-Week Program Journey
Weeks 1–2: Play, movement, and ensemble trust-building
Weeks 3–4: Improvised story creation and imaginative world-building
Weeks 5–6: Character development and performance exploration
Week 7: Final Showcase featuring an ensemble performance inspired by Josephine Baker’s fearless spirit and electrifying energy
By the end of the program, your child will grow from a curious explorer into a confident performer, ready to shine in a celebratory final showcase.
Let your little luminary shine at the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center.
