Introduction
"Be
creative."
"Use your imagination."
"Think of something new."
These
are all lessons we teach our children: lessons we want them to carry
into adulthood as essential skills for life. Now more than ever,
our rapidly changing and technological world has made imagination
necessary for a fulfilling life.
New
technologies are endowing humanity with tremendous creative potential.
To realize that potential, we must look to the most creative members
of society - our children. This project teams renowned choreographers,
artists, and composers with children, using advanced technology
to discover new modes of creative expression as well as innovative
uses of that technology.
The
project started in January of 2001. The first, impressive, results
of the project were already presented this Spring. (See the Project
Updates for more information). Project results will spread widely:
through small case initiatives in local communities, through high
profile international presentations, and globally on the Internet
and through widespread print and broadcast coverage.
