The SPACE (Sunrise Performing Arts Centre of Excellence Inc.) is a Charitable organization that brings the world of performing arts to the rural communities in Eastern Manitoba through a variety of classes including dance, theatre, voice, and much more.
What services does the SPACE offer?
Recreational & higher educational performing arts classes and workshops to preschool, youth, adults, seniors, individuals with mental & physical disabilities, and low-income families throughout our community, teacher mentorship and training, and youth summer camps.
What makes the SPACE a charity?
There are many different kinds of charities. Some of the more well known charities are medically and socially based. The SPACE is an educational charity specializing in performing arts. Just as other charities have very important roles in furthering medical and social aspects in our society, educational charities empower people with greater knowledge and exposure opening the door to new opportunities and different ways of thinking.
How does Performing Arts make a difference in our community?
Performing arts not only keeps people of all abilities and ages active mentally and physically, it provides an outlet for emotional expression both for participants and spectators. There have been many studies showing the impact of performing arts showing how it:
-Improves academic performance among youth
-Lowered crime rates among youth
-Engaged seniors and people with a variety of disabilities (increasing socialization, expression and self-worth)
-And even impedes aging! Dr. Gene Cohen, director of George Washington University's Center on Aging, Health and Humanities reports that seniors involved in performing arts have better overall physical health and fewer doctors' visits. Also they reported that seniors have fewer falls and better scores on depression and loneliness scales. Cohen noted that arts participation had a positive impact on maintaining elders' independence and appeared to reduce "risk factors that drive the need for long-term care."
