The Emerging Artist Project
Creating accessible, playful and community building theater workshops for the greater Sheboygan County Area.
Started as an idea for a Thesis Project through the New School’s SDL Honors Program, The Emerging Artist Project aims to provide accessible theater opportunities to the greater area of Sheboygan County through in-school theater workshops. We’ve had to opportunity to collaborate with numerous Sheboygan area school districts including Lake Country Academy, Fond du Lac County Elementary Schools, Wilson Elementary, Kohler Elementary School, Random Lake Elementary School and more! Providing opportunities for students to engage in community building practices based in theater techniques, our goal is to provide every young artist with the opportunity to engage with theater curriculum.
Hey Look! We’re Famous!

“Wilson Elementary School held another 'Super Specials' Day a few weeks ago, as they welcomed special guest and Emerging Teaching Artist, Abi Charbonneau to their music, art and PE classes.
“All of our students were immediately engaged with Abi's energy and positive personality, and loved her workshops throughout the day,” Wilson Elementary School officials said.
The Emerging Artist Project serves to ignite the creative spark within Sheboygan County students and beyond, through immersive and transformative theater education.
Incorporating workshops with dramaturgy techniques and basic acting training, this in-school program is designed to give students a snapshot of theater education while developing community building through drama techniques and collaborative play.
She reminded them that theater is more than just a performance, it is a way to explore new perspectives, build empathy and develop critical life skills. Her programs are rooted in the belief that everyone has a story to tell and a voice worth hearing. Students experienced activities incorporating improv scenes, character development, active listening, movement, yoga and team building challenges.”
