I.S. 528 Spring Arts
Performance: “Sounds of New York”
Artistic Director’s Note:
This year’s performance theme, “Sounds of New York”, asked the students to investigate the musical artists (musicians, composers, rappers, etc.) both based in New York and who made their mark in the New York music scene. As our audience, we ask that you watch each performance and develop your own interpretations and reflections. What memories do you have of these musicians and songs? What type of relationship is there between dance and music? How has music inspired dance and dance inspired music?
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 musical 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!
