MUSEUMS & GALLERIES

WHOOP DEE DOO connects with youth groups to be fully involved members of the creative team. Youth collaborators see the direct influence of their ideas, skills, and interests in every show, and establish professional connections with a robust network of peers and professional artists.

WHOOP DEE DOO has created programs for dozens of museums across the U.S., partnering with institutions to produce unique live shows, public programs, and workshops for their surrounding communities.

Each collaboration is shaped through research, dialogue, and planning to build meaningful connections between institutions, local youth, and performers. Our programming is intergenerational, inclusive, and designed to reflect the educational and artistic goals of both our partners and participants.

Our partnerships prioritize:
• Advancing the immediate and long-term goals of partner organizations
• Supporting the creative and educational growth of youth, community, and performance groups
• Creating inviting, participatory environments for all audiences
• Engaging in community outreach to welcome new audiences
• Establishing lasting relationships between institutions and local communities
