Performing Arts Department Presents 1st Annual Solo Showcase
The upper school Performing Arts Department presented the first annual Solo Showcase featuring students in grades 9-11 on March 27 in Benjamin Hall. The showcase highlighted arts students across multiple disciplines who have displayed passion and diligence in their chosen artistic pursuits.
Performing Arts Department Chair Sara Salivar thanked attendees for coming out on a Tuesday night to celebrate the arts at Benjamin, where students are “taking risks outside their comfort zones.” Salivar then turned the program over to freshman dancer Caitlin DeGraff who performed to Beautiful.
The audience enjoyed additional pieces from dancers Bella McNamara, Skylar Ladd and Briley Crisafi, who placed 3rd in the state at the Florida State Dance Team Competition in Oviedo, Florida. Etoile Gelman, Nicky Amato, Hudson Hale Lutong Wang and Briley Crisafi performed individual monologues. Violinists Jonathan Wolf-Rosengarten and Eva Hasenhuttl performed with faculty member Dr. Nicholas Lockey’s piano accompaniment. The audience was treated to a documentary film produced, shot and edited by Maddie Wilson. The documentary followed Wilson’s time on a medical mission in Haiti.
