ABOUT

 

SXSW EDU has featured theater, dance, spoken word, puppetry, student musical showcases, and more, offering attendees an experience that is both entertaining and educational.

During each of the performances, performers and their associated organizations will lead the audience through a workshop-style experience, offering a deeper understanding of the concepts that fueled the performance, and, in many cases, activities that can be adopted for the classroom.

Performances at SXSW EDU are a unique element of the festival programming submitted and voted on through PanelPicker®.
