Welcome to BIMA - The Berkshire Institute for Music and Arts Summer Program
Description edit
BIMA offers three core areas of artistic study: music (jazz/ chamber/choral), painting or creative writing. The program includes intensive time each day during which participants focus on the arts discipline of their choice. Participants have the opportunity to develop techniques, hone skills, enhance their ability to express themselves in their chosen medium, and collaborate artistically with other participants. In addition, participants choose from a range of elective offerings. In the time allocated for electives, participants explore new concepts, engage in another medium, or create artistic collaborations.
The entire BIMA community comes together regularly for Jewish text study and experiential learning. Participants explore texts and cultural resources that provide a window into Jewish perspectives on themes such as beauty and creativity. BIMA serves strictly kosher food, offers daily prayer options, and creates weekly communal Shabbat experiences.
BIMA, the Berkshire Institute for Music and Arts, is a summer arts program for Jewish teenagers. Our mission is to guide students as they develop their imaginative and artistic faculties and explore the relevance of Jewish tradition to students’ lives. BIMA is committed to the value of a serious and dynamic encounter between artistic expression and Jewish life. We aspire to serve as both a nurturing community and a creative catalyst for this interaction.
