New York- The first Spring Coffee House Cabaret for the New School was held on Thursday February 18th, and received a warm welcome from New School students, as performers showed off a collage of performing arts as well as enjoying free coffee, and offered a casual performance for student members of the New School.
The Cabaret allowed students from the New School a chance to perform their various mediums; this springs including everything from dance to poetry. The event took place in Wollman Hall, a very intimate space in which viewers of the show were able to “join the community in a casual coffee house atmosphere.” The casualness was not however in the performers themselves.
Each entertainer showed a well-rehearsed performance that took form: from dance to songwriters, poetry to guitar. In particular a guitar trio made up of jazz students from the New School, preformed a two-song set, with both an original song and a compilation of There Will Never Be Another You. “This was my first time playing at one of these,” said Joel Kruzie, bassist for the trio, “it’s a no pressure performance, with a lot of different acts.” This was the overwhelming response from both performers and views alike. “It was really cool to see other student from my school performing and have free coffee,” said Andrew Lenec, a first time attendee of the Cabaret and a freshman at the New School.
Other than the scheduled performances, the Cabaret was a place to talk before and after the show, as well as for unscheduled acts that formed after the event finished. Provided for everyone present was also free coffee, which added to the viewers enjoyment. The New School Coffee House Cabaret is a monthly event and is looking forward to many more successful nights of music and art.
