Working at YALA for many years, performance artist Dana Leon encourages artists toexplore teaching. “Experiencing the arts with children is a breath of fresh air. To see their faceslight up when they are able to integrate arts concepts, and knowing they are having fun whilethey are learning something new at the same time, is rewarding to me.  I feel like I’m enrichingthe youth and instilling in them a love of art that they will never forget,” said Leon, whoworks with pre-school and elementary school students, as well as adults through YoungAudiences of Louisiana’s various programs.
 
“Working as a teaching artist gives me more experience as a professional artist. Also, itmakes me a better artist, because it sharpens my skills by forcing me to constantly articulatewhat I’m doing.”
