Neighborhood Studios is a journey through the arts and beyond. The experience you have and the people you meet have a lasting impact. As one apprentice told us,
“Six weeks can change your life if you let it, and when those six weeks are over, you can still utilize the people you met and the skills you gained, in every aspect of your life.”
We’re kicking off a blog series to share the journeys of people who have participated in Neighborhood Studios, the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s summer teen apprentice program. Each one of their stories is a different perspective on the way this program can shape you and prepare you for your future career, college, and a life that’s connected to the arts. Each post will highlight a specific skill they gained or growth they experienced as an apprentice, as a teacher, or as a staff member. Stay tuned for posts on gaining perspective, independence, self-expression and more.
Today we’ll meet Brandon Couloute, a former Neighborhood Studios apprentice who has come back to Neighborhood Studios as an adult to choreograph Hartford Stage’s Breakdancing Shakespeare.
