School & Creativity

Today when I was in the chiropractor office waiting to be taken back to a room, I was skimming through a magazine. One of the headlines mentioned the Blue Man Group. Of course, this caught my attention because we saw their concert last year in Vegas and I really enjoyed the creativity that was showcased. (If you have never seen them, you must. It is a very cool show.) This specific article that I was reading, talked how the founders of the Blue Man Group needed to expand it's creativity to something new so they created the blue school. The school's mission statement is to cultivate creative, joyful, and compassionate inquirers who use courageous and innovative thinking to build a harmonious and sustainable world. Yes, this is not the 'normal' approach to education but I really think that this unique approach is worth looking at. If you are in the NY, New York area, I think you should attend an open house (then of course, let me know what you thought, just because I'm curious. )
