The search for "aha!" moments | Matt Goldman

In 1988, Matt Goldman co-founded Blue Man Group, an off-Broadway
production that became a sensation known for its humor, blue body
paint and wild stunts. The show works on the premise that certain
conditions can create "aha moments" -- moments of surprise,
learning and exuberance -- frequent and intentional rather than
random and occasional. Now Goldman is working to apply the lessons
learned from Blue Man Group to education, creating Blue School, a
school that balances academic mastery, creative thinking and self
and social intelligence. "We need to cultivate safe and conducive
conditions for new and innovative ideas to evolve and thrive,"
Goldman says.
