Posted project update #6Notes from the Field
Post CommentDear Community,
Thank you again for the enormous gift of time and space! We have made great progress in these past months. In November we showed nearly 30 minutes of original work at an in progress showing and talk back and in January we were able to share a selection of the work at Adinkra House in Montclair, NJ. Here are links to a taste of how the music and movement are developing.
It has taken me a bit more time to develop a plan for communicating with you all, but about a week into it, I am already surprised to find that MUV Moods the blog I have started has become not only a space to document this creative process, but also a space to develop it. Please visit, follow and share the page and please also talk back. In the cloister of my imagination and in the intimacy of the studio it is easy to become a little isolated. I will do more on my side to keep connected, please let me know if the message is getting through.
peaceLOVElight

Thank you! Gracias! Seremein! Asante sana! Djerejef! Merci! We have reached our funding goal, but we are not done yet. We are still trying to increase our total number of backers to 100 or more. Please know that every contribution from $1-$1,000 is appreciated and significant to the success of this work. Again, thanks to everyone who has backed us financially or by spreading the word, we surely would not have made it this far without you. peaceLOVElight ShalewaPost Comment
