BEAT Festival

Partnered with cultural institutions in the city including the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Historical Society, The BEAT Festival elevates and celebrates the diversity of the borough.

Below are pieces from a few Artists Kaleigh had the opportunity to watch at BEAT in 2016.

Thanks to the performances and discussions led by the BEAT artists, Kaleigh recognized the importance of Spoken Word. She found Spoken Word a powerful narrative for personal stories. *Below is a Spoken Word Unit for a Gr. 9 Drama class. Please reach out for any questions or concerns. All units should be adapted to fit class type*.
