This is very exciting for me to share and announce with everyone. I’ve started a summer camp for arts here in Wrocław Poland. It’s happening! Kids are signed up. Talented teachers from around the world are coming to inspire us. In this post I’m going to share “why” I’ve put so much energy into this.
In primary school I liked being the class clown and making people laugh. But my teachers did not always appreciate my… energy. In fact I spent a lot of time in the principles office. Then I started to study Acting as a craft. This passion anchored me and helped me develop better skills at listening. If I wanted to express myself and have other people hear me, I had to figure out a way to manage my behavior and harness my energy.
The arts gave me confidence to be myself. This creative thinking made me adaptable and more empathetic. I believe we need more arts. I believe our children need more chances to think creatively and take risks. I believe the Arts Matter Now.
It feels big and meaningful to me. I hope you come see what we are doing.
