Who are we?
Director and producer Elaine Molinaro and actor and musician Laura Hoffman formed Circle of Sparks Playback in 2019. We are a company of 10 current members.
Circle of Sparks is a program of Culture Connection Theater, a 501c3 Non-profit organization.
Made possible in part by funds from the Essex County Division of Culture Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Seeking Program Consultants, Facilitators and Participants
Circle of Sparks Playback Project is seeking diverse consultants, facilitators and participants for its upcoming programs with the Sister to Sister and Brother to Brother Mentoring program in Montclair and Wynona's House, a children's and family advocacy center in Newark. We will use storytelling, improvisation and music to support children and teens to find and explore their voices.
A stipend is available. Programs are funded by the Essex County Division of Culture Affairs.
If interested in working with an arts organization to help shape these programs to support children and teens in healthy development, please contact Elaine Molinaro at CultureConnectionTheater1@gmail.com
We are in the beginning stages of program development and determining themes for 2021-2022.
Diverse community members from teens to adults are encouraged. Flexible daytime or evening hours. A performing arts background is helpful but not a requirement. We will train, so no prior experience necessary.
