Dear P & P,

Thank you for the opportunity to have the Institute represented by John "Kinderman" Taylor in this upfront collaboration. While some may not be aware of the interconnected experiences that Education and P & P share (even through the master classes), it is the meaningful experiences like last night that allow us to recognize the lifelong value and impact of arts education. We are
forwarding your applause to Kinderman so that he may add this to his treasure
trove of documented moments where his work as a master Teaching Artist and
Performer has had a lasting effect throughout someone's life. Thank you again.

Dear Education,

We had a two pillar day today. Of course we had a master class followed by a
performance, but little did we know......

We had a bit of "audience" participation with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company
tonight. John "Kinderman" Taylor was kind enough to represent the Institute in
the participation that started the show. A show that was so good, one of our
stage door staff, a 19 year old young man, looked at me and said, "That made me
want to be a dancer." A show that couldn't have possibly have been made any
better except for this one interaction.

As Kinderman stood in his place for the top of the show, one of the Merce
Cunningham Dance Company dancers, Daniel, approached John Taylor and said, "You
visited my school when I was growing up."

Goosebumps.

I know the applause is often heard more loudly on the Filene Center side of the
toll road, but please know that moment reminded me of why we all do what we do.

I know there are no sound effects to this, but please consider this my standing
ovation to you,
Barbara
