Hey guys and gals, I am emailing you to let you know about a FREE event this Wednesday, October 24, at 4 p.m. in 125 Nolte which might interest them: "Staging Thirst: Environmental (in)justice and dancing unrest." Join us for a conversation on environmental justice, communities of color, and cultural activism with Hui N. Wilcox, Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley and Ananya Chatterjea. These three participants in the Ananya Dance Theater will discuss the productive alliance between dance-making and social justice work, as well as the notion of dancers being simultaneously cultural activists and artists. The Ananya Dance Theatre is a company of women artists of color, diverse in age, race, nationality, and sexual orientation, but uniformly committed to artistic excellence and passionate articulation of our dreams, hopes, and desires.
