they were last. Kindergardens…the two, combined. 3 songs. i chose this pic because it is the best of Ms. Johnson who leads her flock not just with words but her hands. Actually her whole body. She gestures, waves, swirls and sways. She is GRAND.
the cafeteria space was FULL. All seats taken then many standing. i LOVED looking at all the children, all so singular and of themSelves, some just standing there silent, some rocking and rollin, some in a world of their own. Their Beauty. Their STORIES, if i could only know. and then on into the audience, all the parents. This is a working class neighborhood. Nothing fancy but that SO MANY CAME…i'll ask Alyssia, but for sure, more than 100.
i don't know what to say about Emrie. i was surprised. She was…….a different Emrie. She was FOCUSED. totally.
she knew every word, every gesture, every everything and it was her PERFORMANCE. I could see something of who she will become. i don't know in this moment how to think that. But i was surprised. She is Far More than i know so far.
