Dancers Want to Interpret Your Perception of Peace
Artists For World Peace is looking for people around the globe to ask themselves a simple question, answers to which will be a springboard for a creative dance project.
Peace. The word means different things to each of us. It can connote world peace, an absense of turmoil in one's life, or something as simple as the freedom to take a moment of silence.
Wendy Black-Nasta, founder and executive director of Middletown-based Artists for World Peace is launching a dance project springing from the question, "What does peace mean to you?"
On June 2, Artists for World Peace will be hosting an event, Dance for Peace, at the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford with seven dance companies performing. The dancers will be given everyone's thoughts and writings to this one very specific question. They will then translate the text into movement, and it will become the catalyst for the performance.
