We have a child not quite 7 years old, can they join in?
A mature six year old will be considered especially if they have an older sibling with them. All young people must be able to take care of themselves and be a responsible part of the greater ensemble when following directions.
What if my child only feels comfortable in either the visual or performance arts?
BAK enables humans to express themselves freely. Each young person is given the skills and resources to realize visions. For those who are inexperienced the doorways to expressing themselves is as easy to take as walking. And this is a non-competitive, encouraging environment and community. So, to each their mark. We do encourage everyone to participate in everything, just for fun.
Do you stay in Prospect Park the entire time?
We balance studio practice with outdoor explorations in Prospect Park and the gorgeous outdoor space at the Park Slope Jewish Center.
How many kids will be in the group?
We are all one group. If there are more than 20 young people we do have two groups for certain activities that are best served with small groups. More often than not these days we like to stay together and intermingle amongst the arts as is necessary.
How are the bathrooms?
The Park Slope Jewish Center has two large, clean wonderful bathrooms.
What happens when it rains?
Bring a bathing suit and/or a change of clothes! Here is one of those instances when we break into two groups: who wants to get wet, and who wants to stay dry. Same is usually true with heat as well. Rain or shine everyone is cared for.
