I.S. 528 Annual SPRING PERFORMANCE:
“ART MOVES . . .” Performances inspired by Visual Art & Artists
Artistic Director’s Note:
This year’s performance theme, “Art MOVES . . . ”, asked the students to investigate visual artists and their art work. As our audience, we ask that you watch each performance and develop your own interpretations and reflections. What connections can you make between the artist/art work and the choreography? What type of relationship is there between dance and visual art? How is history represented in art work?
To all of the Dancers and Choreographers: I encourage you all to continue exploring what makes you “unique” and to share that with others as much as possible. It has been a pleasure to watch you “dig deeper” as dancers and choreographers, investigating how your investigation of each visual artist may be connected to your dance study. Enjoy your shining moments on stage and always know that you are an artist of self-‐expression and you must dance from your heart and soul!
To my 8th Graders: May you continue to explore your creativity in high school and reflect on your artistic development and growth at I.S. 528!
Peace in your Thoughts, Peace in your Words, Peace in your Hearts!
Ms. Brown -‐ I.S. 528 Dance Educator/Spring Arts Performance Artistic Director
