Objects of Hope


So, I'm finally getting off my rear and beginning the next project. I NEED YOUR HELP!!! Yes, that's right, you... all of you. The project, Objects of Hope, will be a movement, sound, and visual display of our personal objects of hope. We all have them, they are all personal, and they are quite different, sometimes rare, and truly wonderful. However, we barely talk about or celebrate them. Last year was a look back in order to move forward... well, it's time to move forward. Join me.

Please respond to the following questions as you see fit. (pictures/drawings/sound/words/movement/etc.)

1. What are your objects of hope?

2. Why? Is there a particular story for any or all?

3. How do you celebrate/remember your Objects of Hope?

4. Anything else to share?

Many thanks for your time and willingness to share your experiences. Please request anonymity if you desire it. This project will include your stories, those shared by youth in both studio & outreach settings, college students, friends, family, and strangers. Who knows where this path will lead... forward as you like.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

peace,

CONTRADICTION DANCE: An Exchange Between Life & Dance

Contradiction Dance is a place where theater meets dance meets pop-culture. The company's vision is to make dances that report on, reflect, and question the world in which we live. Nurtured on the belief that artists and audience members communicate in a dialog through a chosen medium, Contradiction Dance fosters discussion, reflection, and change through live performance and dance education.
