Programming Spotlight: Word. Sound. Power. 2022 at BAM

 



Students from the Blum group home attended Word. Sound. Power. 2022, Brooklyn Academy of Music’s poetry celebration for teens.  Participants had the pleasure of experiencing live music and performances presented by Drew Drake, Dizzy SenZe, Freakquencee, and Amyra, including dance choreographed by Jade Charon.  


The event was emceed by Mikal Lee, and the students participated in a follow-up session in our library with Mr. Lee himself.  Students learned about Lee’s role as producer in crafting the show and the teaching artist elicited reflection, shared some of the lyrics performed by SenZe, and engaged students in a creative writing exercise. We are grateful to everyone at BAM for including our students in this special experience. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
