Revels partners with elementary schools to share its wealth of material, including children’s songs, games, rituals, and dances from around the world. Through afterschool programs, mini residencies, and classes, Revels encourages understanding and appreciation of world cultures through music, dance, and drama, teaching students to embrace and celebrate our differences.
Revels currently offers two School Residencies:
The Immigration Residency is intended for 4th grade students and classrooms.
The Mummer’s Play Residency is intended for 2nd grade students and classrooms
Revels School Residencies are tailored to fit the needs of your educational program. Costs range from $3,000 to $5,000 based on the scale of the program

From 2017 – 2019 (with the 2020 program canceled due to COVID-19), Revels worked with students and teachers in Bedford, MA in a week-long Immigration Residency. During the program, students planned their overseas voyages, sewed clothing, and sang and danced within the traditions of the countries and cultures they represented.
