Children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations. Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up.

The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.

Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.

The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.

Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.

There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?

My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.
