Sculptor Caroline Rothwell on Art and Tinkering

  Born in rural Northern England, Caroline Rothwell had an independent and free-spirited upbringing. The artist’s urge to tinker with materials started at an early age: “ My father was an industrial chemist with a flair for ceramics, glazes and bizarre collections and I grew up surrounded by odd curios with pastimes of melting metals, building, collecting – never considering they were art.” It was a serendipitous trip to Australia at age 19 which sparked Rothwell’s desire Read more

Written as a song cycle by Benj Pasek and Justin Read more

[Column] How Many Steps Does It Take?

  When we first took the step of introducing Dance as an Arts option in the High School curriculum, we did not know whether or not it would thrive.

Our students were suddenly excited about the idea of learning routines and performing in front of their Read more
