Dance. Drama. FILM. Animation.
Urban Wildlife Arts is an after-school performing arts program for children of all ages (located in NYC). We create original live dance and theatre pieces, as well as film and animation projects using our imagination, creativity and love of animals.

BuILDING confidence through creativity
Urban Wildlife Arts encourages self-expression through creativity. We help to make new friendships by building an active, collaborative storytelling environment, and by giving kids artistic license to express themselves through mixed mediums. Along with performance techniques, our young artists learn how to overcome shyness and fear of public speaking; to understand and empathize with others; and to engage in fun, imaginative play.

we love animals!
Animals are people too, and we love to tell their stories. Our interactive classes allow kids to learn about animals while also embodying their stories, and creating original work that they can be proud of. Whether it be about a friendship between a fox and a horse, the lives of wild elephants, urban birds, or even a fairytale about a Prince and his cats, UWA helps foster empathy and artistic expression through our love and kinship with animals.
