This post is from the multi-faceted James Stewart. In addition to being a third-year Open Dream Ensemble member, James is a composer (yes, he wrote the music for Peril and along with Joshua Morgan team-wrote the music of Dream Machines), music minister, carpenter and daddy. (James is in the far right of the photo holding a sign stating "MARS").
Five days in Bertie county
Four groups of teaching artists from the Open Dream Ensemble
Three shows for the students, teachers, and communities
Two classes of amazing kids
One "informance" (informal - performance) that the students will share with each other on Friday afternoon.
The countdown is on and we are having a wonderful time at Aulander Elementary School in Bertie County, North Carolina this week.
This is the fourth week of residency work we've done so far this season and I have to say it is always a rewarding experience: to come into a new school, a new environment, to share our talents and then to spend time in the classroom having the students share their talents with us.
I am always impressed, always enriched, always rewarded.
