Using historical perspectives based on real people and events, Living Voices combines live performance with audio/video, visual aids, and discussion. Archival film and photos, blended with sound and synchronized with a live actor, provide a dynamic, interactive experience of how the world looked, sounded, and felt during a significant time in history.
Our traditional live programs include our signature historical introduction, engaging multi-media performance, and post-show discussion. Customize your performance to accommodate your group and space while adhering to safety guidelines.
Our studio-quality filmed programs offer the same impactful content as our live shows. Filmed programs are shared electronically and accessible for multiple screen viewing during a selected time period, for maximum flexibility.
Pair any program with livestream post-show discussion with a Living Voices teaching artist, tailored to your group, platform, time, and scheduling needs.
Serving K-12 schools, universities, community groups, museums & corporations. Our innovative, accessible programs promote diversity, encourages empathy and learning, builds community, and inspires social change. Audiences view history through a personal, inclusive lens, and see themselves as a part of it—what is past, and what is yet to be written.
In person or online, our unique multi-media shows offer a powerful, personal approach to understanding issues of social justice through history and their relevance today.
