A Note from the Performing Arts Department

When construction began at the end of last school year, the excitement of breaking ground and everything that was to come was palpable. But an equally competing emotion, anxiety, was there too, riding just beneath the surface and reminding us that our productions would need to adjust in the coming year. We quickly learned that sometimes, when you feel boxed in, that’s where the best ideas bloom.

Sam and I are thrilled to welcome you to this year’s reimagined Dance Concert. One where we are honoring the elements of the new building by including dance, visual arts, and music in our production, and celebrating our campus in a way that shines a light on the possibilities surrounding us. Edgar Degas’ quote “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” is a beautiful explanation of our campus journey—and we hope that you are able to see our artists and physical space in a whole new way. We invite you to let your senses be enveloped along the way, hearing and seeing with new wonder, afresh with potential.

Please join us in congratulating our artists and appreciating their investment while beautifully fulfilling their teachers’ out-of-the-ordinary vision. And we thank you, our audience, for going along for the ride! We hope you enjoy.
