The packed auditorium writhed with onlookers whooping, cheering and participating at every opportunity. Their enthusiasm and support coming in tidal waves in response to each and every performer. Working together or alone the children reminded me that simply being on stage is a feat for many. For others it seems they were born there. In each case, the dance between our performing students and the parents, friends, and teachers supporting them captured two essential qualities that I love about our community: courage and tenacity.
Thank you performers, thank you to everyone who helped them, and thank you to Jonathan for taking the time to make this video.

The Brooklyn New School is teeming with creativity in every medium and every mode: watercolor in the style of Van Gogh, hand drawn maps, poems, stories...Find installations of artwork outside the art room in the "gallery" or catch a glimpse of a kiln firing. From Jonathan's music room melodious sounds one day contrast joyous cacophony on another. Where have you seen creativity at BNS? Help us celebrate arts at BNS and blog it here!
