CONTRADICTION DANCE: An Exchange Between Life & Dance

Contradiction Dance is a place where theatre, dance, and pop culture meet. 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 dialogue through the chosen medium, Contradiction Dance fosters discussion, reflection, and change through live performance and dance education.

Funds4Darhyl in the Gazette!

Friends, neighbors drum up support for Takoma Park co-op activist
When cancer struck Darhyl Lyons, residents held fundraiser to aid hospital bills
by Jeremy Arias | Staff Writer

Jeremy Arias/The Gazette

A smile creased the lips of Takoma Park resident Darhyl Lyons Saturday night as his hands danced over the taut surface of his trusty drum and he surveyed the chorus of residents, friends and neighbors who had come out to support him.

As an enthusiastic drum instructor at the Contradiction Dance Studio and well-known staff and board member at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Co-Op, Lyons is accustomed to helping his community, but when doctors at Holy Cross Hospital discovered a cancerous tumor in his lung last July, his friends and neighbors were quick to help him. Refusing to stand idly by as Lyons faced the news of a second tumor discovered in his brain only a week after the first, a group of local businesses and Lyons' friends organized a fundraiser to help pay for his escalating medical bills.

And a tid-bit:
Hmmm...

PISCES [February 19–March 20] White dwarfs are small and dense stars. They're typically no bigger than the Earth, but as heavy as the sun. You currently have a resemblance to one of those concentrated balls of pure intensity. I have rarely seen you offering so much bang for the buck. You are as flavorful as chocolate mousse, as piercing as the scent of eucalyptus, as lustrous as a fireworks display on a moonless night. Personally, I'm quite attracted to your saucy and zesty emanations, and I think most people with strong egos will be. But some underachievers with lower self-esteem may regard you as being more like astringent medicine. My advice: Gravitate toward those who like you to be powerful.
