Rooftop Alternative PreK-8 School

Archive-It Partner Since: Oct, 2016

Organization Type: K-12 Program Schools

Organization URL:   

Description:

Rooftop is a K-8 public, alternative elementary school located in the center of San Francisco on two sites on the eastern slope of Twin Peaks. Our student population reflects the City’s diverse ethnic background. Programs in art, music, and drama are considered an integral part of the Rooftop experience. The Archive/Opera class at Rooftop's Studio at Mayeda gives students the opportunity create both the “archives” (from Greek ta arkheia public records, and the “opera,” (the work). As we explore the school’s history, we make decisions about what we would like to archive and come together to create new works of art in the process.

Hamilton: An American Musical

Archived since: Mar, 2017

Description:

Hamilton: An American Musical is a hit musical written and performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a talented cast. The show, inspired by the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theater in August 2015, with the first National touring company opening at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco in March of 2017. We chose to archive this musical because it brought out the confidence in youth across the country to stand up for what is right, which is important, especially considering the events occurring in the United States today. The thing that really stands out to us: Hamilton shows how history can speak to the current events happening in our country, and an exciting new work of art can bring out the creativity in all of us.
