The Academy
More than ever, it is time to reclaim our creative capacities, refresh our critical thinking and reunite our collective genius for the greatest show on Earth! Millicent has created this blueprint for a new school to support this intention. The visual, performing, healing and martial arts along with others will be the focus while the liberal arts are supportive rather than dominant. Let us reunite with the help of the time-tested medicine that the ARTS have always provided since time immemorial! Bless it up!
