옳은 말 같지 않았어요.
have had an experience similar to that,
would lead me to a career
만들고 글을 쓰는
for Blue Man Group
고문이나 다름없었어요.
a natural proclivity for academics,
to understand me,
이해하지 못하는 것 같았어요.
어떻게 해야하는지 몰랐고
what to do with me.
다뤄야 할 지 몰랐어요.
even back then,
didn't know what to do

are innately innovative,
that we were using 10,000 years ago.
똑같은 화살촉을 사용하고 있었겠죠.
that I started to question is,
'아하!' 하는 순간들을
to happen randomly and occasionally,
intentionally and frequently?
시작했을 때
an off-Broadway show before.
하지 않았습니다.
열정이 있는지 알고있었어요.
that we had never seen onstage before,
본 적이 없는 것이었죠.

이것이 어려운 문제를
마음을 들게 합니다.
in a more respectful way.
a profound effect on raising the bar,
상호간의 존중과 신뢰를 쌓아가는데
in the office and the classroom,

trying to do the same endeavor,
같은 노력을 하려고 한다면
절약하도록 도와줄 수 있습니다.
right here and now.
Silly Putty and tomato paste

the dramatic oozing effect
충분히 미끄러웠습니다.
of the Blue Man show.
all the rules of theater altogether.
모두 배제하진 않았어요.
We had lighting designs.
조명디자인도 했어요.
무대매니저도 있었어요.
we were one of the very first shows
우리는 첫 공연에서
in a respectful way,

70 파운드의 젤로에 담가서
one of the heroes of the show.
what didn't need to be reinvented.
필요가 없으면 보여주지 않았어요.
and we created a school --
아이들을 위해 학교를 만들었어요.
그런 학교 말이죠.
that we wish we had gone to,
between classes
even when you couldn't sing middle C.
음악 수업을 들었던 곳이요.
and parents and students
선생님과 부모, 학생들이
a lifelong, joyful passion for learning.
가지기 위함이에요.

when it's the best way into a lesson.
직접적으로 가르치는 방법이요.
learning across all subjects approach,
통합적인 방법으로 접근하도록 균형을 맞췄어요.
학문적 학위와 창의적인 생각, 그리고
creative thinking,
균형을 맞추도록
like common sense,
a lot of attention to Blue School

of the middle school.
of middle school values.
참여해 달라고 했습니다.
to be happy and productive at school?
학교를 위해 필요한 건 무엇일까?
of individual work, collaborative work,
개인적으로, 협동적으로
is really extraordinary.
정말 놀라웠어요.
what others need in order to learn.
존중하고 지지해주는 것입니다.
and awareness of others.
다른 사람을 아는 연습을 합니다.
만들고 존중해요.
when they came up with this.
이것을 생각해냈습니다.
20 years to identify.
분명히 알아냈어요.
of creating these vibrant communities
한 가지 좋은 점은
who want to prioritize these values.
끌어올 수 있다는 것입니다.
like money and prestige and tradition.
이런 가치들을 더 우선시합니다.
주변에서, 가정에서
in your own companies,
같은 길을 갈 수 있어요.
prioritizing children's voices
목소리를 우선시하는 것이었습니다.
a harmonious and sustainable world.
도구를 주기 위함이에요.

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.
