Core Dance Partner Highlight: HeArts for Hope, Arts for All
in partnership with Be the Peace, Be the Hope
Think about your place in the world… what is the imprint and the positive change you want to create from your Heart knowing that we are all essentially connected and desperately in need of peace? How can you connect with others through creativity in times of crisis? How can you enrich other people’s lives through drawings, words of encouragement, music, movement, dance, or drama that will be combined with and inspired by the creation of others?
The HeArts for Hope – Arts for All initiative invites you to a 5-phase process, each of which builds in response to the first. Each week we will send out these “offerings of love” to our first responders, healthcare professionals, isolated elders, hospitalized patients, and others especially in need of support and encouragement during this time.

Dynamic X-ChangeDynamic: energy or power in motion
X: the unknown factor in any equation Change: to become different, to be transformed Through Dynamic X-Change Healing Arts Program, the teaching artists of Core Dance offer dance as a tool to teach, to connect, to heal, and to inspire. Working in partnership with and in service of our communities, this connection of movement and energy cultivates the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical well-being of people of all ages. Since 1993, Core Dance has activated Dynamic X-Change in support of those living in challenging situations and oftentimes isolated because of their circumstances – dealing with abuse, homelessness, language barriers, refugee status, aging, AIDS. Careful attention to human needs, years of teaching experience, and a finely attuned sense of the stories our bodies have to tell, informs and guides the process. What results for the participants – community members and Core Dance Artist - is change in their lives that is grounded in their bodies and derived from creative interpretation of life and its array of experiences through movement. The substance and depth inherent in working with and alongside our community provide unfeigned inspiration and supports Core Dance’s art making processes in increasingly authentic and relevant ways, completing the X-Change. . |

Salon: The Art of ConversationSalons are incubators where ideas are conceived, gestated, and hatched. Salons are the frontiers of social and cultural change: they’re cultivating creativity, reviving the art of conversation, and fueling energy to change the world. Salons are gatherings where people talk “big talk,” talk meant to be listened to and perhaps passionately acted upon.
An important reason for a salon is to practice creativity in a setting where one needn’t fear judgment of his/her efforts. Conversation is the way we can convey information, inspire each other, and achieve understanding. Conversation is the way we challenge, amuse, and amaze each other. |
