WITS IN MOTION: This 9 minute non-verbal dance-film by Suddenly Dance Theatre incorporates music, dance, and physical theatre to engage children and youth. It is a powerful tool for those with speech and hearing disabilities, second language students, and those experiencing social and emotional problems.

FACILITATOR'S GUIDE: This guide offers questions, creative activities, and discussion points that form a springboard for conversation and deeper learning. 

FACES TELL STORIES: Featuring the youth participants of the film, this series of 30 images or ‘flipcards' can be used in emotion recognition games and activities.
