Top 4 Penn videos that will give you the chills: #2

So far, my #4 and #3 picks for my "Penn videos that will give you the chills" have been beautifully made films combining stylized photography, use of music and special effects.

Today I bring you an engaging video from one of our alumni jam packed with emotion and truth.

Click here for my #2 pick.

In my last post about performance artist Carlos Andrés Gómez (C'04), I was pretty much wowed by this alum's passion for expression.

Well he's done it again.

Carlos just posted a video of a recent performance talking about his experiences as a public school teacher in NYC and his adolescent students doing the "distinctly beautiful" exercise.

I'll tell you this, Carlos' words are well-crafted, poignant and shockingly truthful. I definitely get chills listening to what he has to say.

And so will you.

Listen to this and tell me you're not effected...

Check back tomorrow for my #1 pick!

Carlos Andrés Gómez (C'04), award-winning NYC poet and actor, has a voice. ...And it's channeled through his passion for the spoken word. After checking out his videos, the best word to describe this guy is captivating!

At Penn, Carlos was the founder of The Excelano Project one of the nation's premier spoken word/performance poetry collectives.

You may have seen him earlier this year on the cover of the February issue of Brass Magazine and on the most recent season of HBO's Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry.
