Girls Rock Seattle quotes from kids (and photos in their newsletter)

“I have learned to be louder.”
“I don’t have to be afraid to try something I might not be good at.”
“It’s so amazing that this exists.”
“Go! You will have fun!”
“It’s easier to be creative than I thought.”
“I’m perfect just the way I am!”
“I felt like I could do anything and no one would make fun of me.”

And from mothers of 4-7yo kids who took the recent Fremont Music School Opera/Arts workshop on Saturday mornings:

“The Kids’ interactive opera workshops are fun and expose children to classical music in a uniquely interactive way.” – Carol T.

Six choreographers have created works filled with lush movement, and vivid imagery around the theme of “Entitlement.”  As a group we question what trappings of modern life we feel we need.  Do we own these things, or do they own us?  Each choreographer shares a different insight into the question.
