“Imagine if arts were classes that were considered core — a core class in education. Imagine... Ours is only one small part, yet it’s the most important part of a child’s education. ... We have all known that the future of the world was about collaborative creativity."
Happy Monday! Have you seen the soul shaking performance of “Seasons of Love” from Rent by the incredible students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School at the Tony Awards on June 10th? This is one of the most brave and beautiful things I have ever seen. On the same note, make sure you watch Melody Herzfeld, the drama teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as she accepts the award for Excellence in Theatre Education at the Tonys. “Imagine if arts were classes that were considered core — a core class in education. Imagine... Ours is only one small part, yet it’s the most important part of a child’s education. ... We have all known that the future of the world was about collaborative creativity." No day but today, my Friends. There’s no better (or other) time to speak up, tell our story, be seen and heard, and light up the world with the gifts that only we can bring to it.

AuthorMy name is Melissa and I'm an actor, writer, and teaching artist who never really left my playful seven year old self behind. I'm also passionate about sustainable creativity - we must take care of ourselves in a holistic way if we want to keep thriving as an artist. What does being creative mean to you? How do you play every day? This is a space for taking a break, a breath, and finding ways to flex our imagination and find the joy where we can. No one is going to present us with a ready made creative life--we have to step up and gift it to ourselves. I'm so glad you're here. Categories
