Wolf Trap + Wayne Metro

Karilú Forshee

We’re excited to start Wolf Trap work in partnership with Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency (Wayne Metro)! Karilú Forshee and Audra Kubat will co-create with Early Head Start & Head Start teachers to serve families in Metro-Detroit. Our Living Arts team brings countless years of experience to the Wolf Trap program and we are eager to jump into the work.

Detroit Wolf Trap matches teaching artists with infant-toddler, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten classroom teachers to engage students in arts-based lessons that improve literacy and other critical kindergarten readiness skills. 

This residency provides intensive, professional development for classroom teachers and engages parents/caregivers in arts-based family literacy workshops. Living Arts’ Detroit Wolf Trap program is one of 21 regional programs across the country implementing the Wolf Trap Institute’s best practices in performing arts-based early childhood education. Our program focuses on emergent literacy, STEM learning, and social-emotional skills to prepare young children for kindergarten and beyond. Children learn by moving, making music, and pretending and these art lessons support their innate learning abilities.
