Hello Adele!
I’ve had a very cool arts & community
experience that I would like to share with you…
I have been working for over a year with an
organization that supports homeless adults in transition. Last year I taught a course
and the group collaboratively created (and chose to perform at the official
program launch) a piece that shared their stories and expressed their gratitude
about support programs and their own strength to utilize them.
This year, the group (some returning, some
new participants) collaboratively created an outreach piece to the homeless community,
which is touring to shelters and drop-ins.
The pride and joy of creation and
performance on the participants faces warms my soul to the melting point; the
response of audience members being entertained and inspired turns whatever wasn’t
already melted inside of my heart into liquid gold.
This work that we do is so beautifully
important.
Thank you for inspiring me and being a mentor!
At last venue that we performed
at, this bicycle was parked out front – if that ain’t the epitome of creativity….
Much love!
Erica May/Wood
