45. The Performance Art Team Article by Harold Olejarz on project about colored sculptures worn in interactive performances at benjamin franklin Middle School, Ridgeword, NJ. http://www.olejarz.com/arted/pat/

The Performance Art Team In September, 1991, I began teaching art at Benjamin Franklin Middle School in Ridgewood, NJ. I decided to incorporate my interest in performance art into my teaching by inviting students to join a "Performance Art Team". Dr. Paul Folkemer, the school principal and Pete Tilgner, my colleague, were very supportive. The students were very excited. They came to the art room after school and created the sculptures they would perform in. The newly formed Benjamin Franklin Middle School Performance Art Team created five colored sculptures that are worn in interactive performances. The five sculptures, made of silicone rubber and fabric, represent black, white, brown, red, and yellow children. The performance is called Rainbow Kids. In this work 6th, 7th and 8th grade students wear sculptures and interact with one another and their audience. The Performance Art Team performed in New York City's 1992 Earth Day Celebration, Buffalo's Imagination Celebration, and several local events. The piece is a street performance that can be presented in numerous contexts. In Buffalo, Rainbow Kids was performed in two Public Schools (the performers walked into corridors, classrooms, and offices). I choreograph the actions of the student/performers with a wireless two-way radio system that enables me to communicate with the students. The performances contrast action with stillness. The performers freeze as though they were statues and then come to life only to freeze once again in a new pose. The performers may be asked to follow simple directions such as freeze in a walking pose or interpret an emotion like take a sad or a proud pose. Rainbow Kids demonstrates that while children may appear different, they are all still kids. Rainbow Kids is an exciting performance about differences, interaction and harmony.

Benjamin Franklin Fascinating facts about Benjamin Franklin inventor of the lightning rod and bifocal glasses. Franklin, Benjamin (1706-1790), American printer, author, diplomat, philosopher, scientist, inventor, and one of America's greatest statesmen. Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin, a tallow chandler by trade, had 17 children; Benjamin was the 15th child and the 10th son. His mother, Abiah Folger, was his father's second wife. The Franklin family was in modest circumstances, like most New Englanders of the time. After his attendance at grammar school from age eight to ten, Benjamin was taken into his father's business. Finding the work uncongenial, however, he entered the employ of a cutler. At age 13 he was apprenticed to his brother James, who had recently returned from England with a new printing press. Benjamin learned the printing trade, devoting his spare time to the advancement of his education. His reading included Pilgrim's Progress by the British preacher John Bunyan
