Apply to Perform
BAC performing artists draw on the multiculturalism of Brooklyn and the array of repertoires citywide. We seek artists who can engage their audience, provide educational context and demonstrate a successful track record of performing in NYC public schools.
About
Our programs enrich learning in our schools while supporting artists’ contributions to our community. BAC assemblies educate and entertain through performance, narration, and student participation. Ideal performances are suitable for all age groups and are no longer than 45 minutes.
We select new assembly performance groups on a rolling basis throughout the school year. Special attention is made to groups that can provide performance dates for BAC staff to attend, or dynamic documentation (video trailers, etc.) of the group in a school or senior setting.
BAC AIE selects performing artists and groups based on the following criteria:
-
Quality and scope of artist's/group’s work
Depth of knowledge of a discipline
Demonstrated commitment to on-going professional growth
-
Substantial experience in NYC public schools
Passion for nurturing the arts in schools

Ability to integrate school curriculum
Commitment and ability to incorporate the NYS Learning Standards in the Arts and the NYC Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts

Understanding of each site's needs (schools, after-school, and community-based organizations, etc.)
Ability to plan with others and articulate goals and objectives
Ability to communicate and work collaboratively with site contacts
Adaptability to varying student populations, school environments, and resource availability
