Why you should listen

A few of Matt Goldman's titles include award-winning writer and performer, Grammy-nominated musician and composer, co-founder of the international theatrical sensation Blue Man Group, CEO of its parent organization Blue Man Productions, and co-founder of the NYC-based Blue School.

Goldman spent his boyhood in New York City, with parents who encouraged him to learn about a diverse range of interests. After earning an MBA degree, he began a career in software development, only to step away from the growing industry to follow where the Blue Man path would lead. His business knowledge assisted the friends early on, guiding them to make decisions in regard to the longevity and ownership of their creative work.
 
After nearly twenty years at the Blue Man helm with Chris Wink and Phil Stanton, Goldman made the decision to follow his passion for learning and education. The threesome teamed up with other artists and educators to form Blue School in New York City. With over 300 students enrolled in Pre-K through 8th grade, the school is designed to reimagine a more complete, balanced and exuberant approach to education. Goldman serves as Board Vice-Chair and co-Founder of the school.

Matt Goldman: The search for "aha!" moments

麥特戈曼: 尋找「啊哈」的時刻

1988 年,麥特戈曼和幾個朋友創立了藍人樂團,是個外百老匯戲劇,因為它的幽默、藍色身體油漆,以及夠狂的特技而造成轟動。該表演的前提條件是要能創造出「啊哈時刻」——驚人、學習、熱情洋溢的時刻——更加經常且有意圖去做,而非令其隨機偶然發生。現在,戈曼在把從藍人樂團學到的東西用到教育上,創建了藍學校,該校平衡了學術精通、創意思考、以及自我和社會智慧。戈曼說:「我們需要為創新的新點子培養出安全且有益的條件,讓它們也能演化、茁壯。」

1484
或是左邊的房間。
00:41
(Laughter笑聲)
8
29699
2213
(笑聲)
00:45
And when all 35 kids孩子 are doneDONE,
9
33139
3753
所有三十五個孩子都做完之後,
00:48
the left side of the room房間,
which哪一個 I was a part部分 of,
10
36916
3073
我在左邊的房間裡,
00:52
was told to stand up
and go back to home room房間.
11
40013
3761
老師叫左邊房間的人站起來,
回到年級教室裡。
00:56
(Laughter笑聲)

2537
(笑聲)
00:58
And none沒有 of us ever received收到
another另一個 music音樂 class again
13
46798
5358
我們這些人在小學中再也
沒有上過任何一堂音樂課。
01:04
in elementary初級 school學校.
14
52180
1230
01:06
An in club俱樂部 and an out club俱樂部
was established既定,
15
54313
3858
我們就分成了圈內和圈外兩派人馬,
01:10
and I didn't even know
what the gating澆注 test測試 was in the moment時刻.
16
58195
3777
我當時甚至不知道
入派的測試是什麼。
01:17
A few少數 years年份 later後來, English英語 class ...
17
65061
3484
幾年之後,英文課……
01:20
(Laughter笑聲)
18
68569
1763
(笑聲)
01:22
first paper of a new semester學期,
19
70356
4761
新學期的第一份成績報告,
01:27
and I get the paper back,
20
75141
2023
我拿回報告時,
01:29
and it's C+,
21
77188
2534
上面的分數是 C+,
01:31
with the comment評論,
"Good as can be expected預期."
22
79746
3291
附帶一條評論「跟預期的一樣好」。
01:35
(Laughter笑聲)
23
83061
2000
(笑聲)
01:38
Now, honestly老老實實, I didn't mind心神 a C+.
24
86584
2998
老實說,我不介意得到 C+。
01:41
I was just happy快樂 it wasn't a C-C- or a D.
25
89606
3158
我很高興得到的不是 C- 或 D。
01:45
But the "good as can be
expected預期" comment評論 ...
26
93720
3235
但「跟預期的一樣好」這條評論……
01:48
even at that young年輕 age年齡,
it didn't seem似乎 right.
27
96979
2682
即使我年輕那麼小,也覺得不太對。
01:52
It seemed似乎 somehow不知何故 limiting限制.
28
100667
2741
它似乎以某種方式成了限制。
01:57
Now, how many許多 people here
have had an experience經驗 similar類似 to that,
29
105600
4920
在座有誰曾經有過類似那樣的經驗,
02:02
either at school學校 or the workplace職場?
30
110544
2309
不論是在學校或工作場所?
02:07
We're not alone單獨.
31
115520
1262
我們並不孤單。
02:11
So I guess猜測 it might威力 be ironic具有諷刺意味
32
119003
3820
所以,我想,還蠻諷刺的,
02:14
that my life path路徑
would lead me to a career事業
33
122847
3927
我的人生道路,領我到的職涯竟是
02:18
of making製造 music音樂 and writing寫作
for Blue藍色 Man Group
34
126798
4185
為藍人樂團製作音樂和寫歌,
02:23
(Laughter笑聲)
35
131007
1515
(笑聲)
02:24
and starting開始 a school學校.
36
132546
1577
還成立了一間學校。
02:26
(Laughter笑聲)
37
134147
2721
(笑聲)
02:28
But school學校 was torture拷打 for me.
38
136892
2151
但學校對我而言是種折磨。
02:32
As someone有人 who didn't have
a natural自然 proclivity傾向 for academics學者,
39
140047
3981
身為一個天生沒有學術傾向的人,
02:36
and my teachers教師 never seemed似乎
to understand理解 me,
40
144052
3662
且我的老師似乎從來沒有了解過我,
02:39
I didn't know how to navigate導航 schools學校
41
147738
1783
我在學校找不到方向,
02:41
and schools學校 didn't know
what to do with me.
42
149545
2427
學校也不知道該拿我怎麼辦。
02:45
So I started開始 to ask the question,
even back then,
43
153212
4295
所以,即使是那時,
我也開始問這個問題,
02:49
if these environments環境
didn't know what to do
44
157531
3239
如果這些環境不知道怎麼處理
02:52
with people who didn't fit適合
a standard標準 mold模子,
45
160794
3984
不符合標準模子的人,
02:56
why weren't we reshaping重塑 the environments環境
46
164802
3615
為什麼我們不改造環境,
03:00
to take advantage優點 of people's人們 strengths優勢?
47
168441
2468
來好好利用人們的長處?
03:05
What I've come to believe
48
173402
2633
我漸漸開始相信,
03:08
is that we need to cultivate培育
safe安全 and conducive有利於 conditions條件
49
176059
5210
我們需要為創新的新點子
培養出安全且有益的條件,
03:13
for new and innovative創新 ideas思路
to evolve發展 and thrive興旺.
50
181293
4833
讓它們能演化、茁壯。
03:19
We know that humans人類
are innately天生 innovative創新,
51
187956
3335
我們知道人類天生就有創新能力,
03:23
because if we weren't,
52
191315
1358
因為如果沒有的話,
03:24
we'd星期三 all be using運用 the same相同 arrowheads箭頭
that we were using運用 10,000 years年份 ago.
53
192697
4586
我們應該還在使用
一萬年前用的箭頭。
03:30
So one of the things
that I started開始 to question is,
54
198152
3666
所以,我開始執疑的其中一件事是,
03:33
are there ways方法 to make innovation革新 easier更輕鬆
55
201842
4255
有沒有方式可以讓創新變得更容易,
03:38
and happen發生 more frequently經常?
56
206121
2932
且更常發生?
03:41
Is there a way to take those aha moments瞬間,
57
209523
2857
有沒有方法可以利用
那些「啊哈」的時刻,
03:44
those breakthroughs突破 that seem似乎
to happen發生 randomly隨機 and occasionally偶爾,
58
212404
5969
那些似乎是隨機偶然發生的突破,
03:50
and have them happen發生
intentionally故意地 and frequently經常?
59
218397
3642
讓它們變成是刻意且經常發生的?
03:55
When we started開始 Blue藍色 Man Group in 1988,
60
223316
2865
當我們在 1988 年成立藍人樂團時,
03:58
we had never doneDONE
an off-Broadway外百老匯 show顯示 before.
61
226205
2888
我們從來沒有做過外百老匯的表演。
04:01
We'd星期三 actually其實 doneDONE almost幾乎 no theater劇院.
62
229553
2477
我們幾乎沒有做過劇場。
04:05
But we knew知道 what we were passionate多情 about,
63
233086
3084
但我們知道我們的熱情在哪裡,
04:08
and it was a whole整個 series系列 of things
that we had never seen看到 onstage在舞台上 before,
64
236194
3940
那些全是我們從來沒有
在台上見過的東西,
04:12
things like art藝術 and pop流行的 culture文化
and technology技術 and sociology社會學
65
240158
4200
像是藝術、流行文化、
科技、社會學、
04:16
and anthropology人類學 and percussion打擊樂器
and comedy喜劇 and following以下 your bliss.
66
244382
5452
人類學、打擊樂、喜劇,
以及追隨你的天賜之福。
04:23
We established既定 a rule規則
67
251698
1864
我們建立了一條規則,
04:25
that nothing made製作 it onstage在舞台上
if we had seen看到 it before,
68
253586
5278
若是我們以前看過的,就不能登台,
04:30
and we wanted to inspire啟發
creativity創造力 and connectedness連通
69
258888
3159
我們想要激勵出我們自己
04:34
in ourselves我們自己 and our audiences觀眾;
70
262071
2921

04:37

265016
2839
我們想要做一點社會公益,
04:39
and we wanted to have fun開玩笑 doing it.
72
267879
1676
且我們想要愉快地做。
04:42
And in the office辦公室,
73
270456
1390
在辦公室裡,
04:43
we wanted to create創建 an environment環境
where people treated治療 each other
74
271870
3262
我們想要創造一個環境,在那裡,
04:47
just a little bit better,
75
275156
2151
大家能對彼此好一點點,
04:49
just a little bit more
respect尊重 and consideration考慮
76
277331
3666
只要比外面的世界再多一點點
04:53
than in the outside world世界.
77
281021
1603
尊重和體貼。
04:56
And we continued繼續 to iterate迭代
and collaborate合作 and find solutions解決方案
78
284740
4905
我們持續重覆、合作,
並找到解決方案,
05:01
to create創建 things that hadn't有沒有 been seen看到.
79
289669
3293
來創造出前所未見的新東西。
05:06
Over time, I've come to identify鑑定
the optimal最佳 conditions條件
80
294530

隨時間過去,我漸漸知道,
對於這類創意創新環境,
最理想條件就是

At Blue藍色 Man Group, iteration迭代
was essential必要 for our creative創作的 process處理.
115
424412
4109
在藍人樂團,重覆對於
我們的創意過程是很重要的。

But we didn't throw out

但我們並沒有把劇場的
所有規則都丟掉。
08:51
We had set designs設計.

我們有場景設計,有打光設計。
08:54
We had a stage階段 manager經理 calling調用 the shows節目.

08:57
But I'm fairly相當 sure

140
525601
4770
但我很確定,我們的表演是最早
以帶著尊重的方式
和觀眾做連結的表演之一,
09:02
that was connecting with our audience聽眾
in a respectful尊敬的 way,
141
530395
4064
09:06
by hanging them upside上邊 down,
142
534483

(笑聲)
09:16
putting their heads

吉露果子凍裡面,
09:20
and then making製造 them

然後把他們變成表演的英雄之一。
09:26
(Laughter笑聲)
149
554699
3080
(笑聲)
09:29
Besides除了 that, we didn't reinvent重塑
what didn't need to be reinvented改造.
150
557803
4509
此外,我們並沒有重新發明
不需要被重新發明的東西。
09:34
(Laughter笑聲)
151
562336
6665
(笑聲)
09:41
Years年份 later後來, we took all this learning學習
and we created創建 a school學校 --

569025
6166
幾年之後,我們用在這裡
所學的一切,建立了一所學校,
09:48
a school學校 for our children孩子
that we wish希望 we had gone走了 to,
153
576693
5668
為了我們原本希望能幫助的
那些孩子而建立。
09:54
a school學校 where it was just as important重要
154
582385

在這間學校裡,
下課時在走廊發生的事情
09:58
what happened發生 in the hallways走廊
between之間 classes
155
586084
3206
和在課堂上發生的事情一樣重要;
10:01
as what happened發生 in the classes;
156

10:04
a place地點 where you got music音樂 class
even when you couldn't不能 sing middle中間 C.

我們沒有試著重新發明輪子。
10:29

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Matt Goldman - Entrepreneur
Matt Goldman is a co-founder of the international theatrical sensation Blue Man Group and the NYC-based Blue School.

Why you should listen

A few of Matt Goldman's titles include award-winning writer and performer, Grammy-nominated musician and composer, co-founder of the international theatrical sensation Blue Man Group, CEO of its parent organization Blue Man Productions, and co-founder of the NYC-based Blue School.

Goldman spent his boyhood in New York City, with parents who encouraged him to learn about a diverse range of interests. After earning an MBA degree, he began a career in software development, only to step away from the growing industry to follow where the Blue Man path would lead. His business knowledge assisted the friends early on, guiding them to make decisions in regard to the longevity and ownership of their creative work.
 
After nearly twenty years at the Blue Man helm with Chris Wink and Phil Stanton, Goldman made the decision to follow his passion for learning and education. The threesome teamed up with other artists and educators to form Blue School in New York City. With over 300 students enrolled in Pre-K through 8th grade, the school is designed to reimagine a more complete, balanced and exuberant approach to education. Goldman serves as Board Vice-Chair and co-Founder of the school.
