Kudos to the witnesses & participants of Moving Dialogs’ One World on April 8th!
Over 100 people attended this vibrant gathering of diverse dance & voices. Here are some thoughts from witnesses at One World:
- “We need more time. We need more opportunities like this for people to have these kind of conversations”
- “Very nice. do it again!”
- “I have been gifted serendipitously. Tonight i was transported out of my self into another dimension. Timeless here… an endless well of joy and wonder tapped into something precious. I wanted to stay forever…”
- “I appreciate seeing multiple aesthetics in the same space but ESPECIALLY appreciated the dialog and facilitators who helped instigate such important conversations which don’t happen enough.”
- “I would caution against asking for multiplicity-oriented feedback…felt unsafe at moments”
- “Excellent format! Fabulous dance participants! Astounding Space!”
- “I really opened my eyes to the art. Unity brought these different groups together”
- “I appreciate the thoughts and opinions that being brought up due to these programs. I feel and see similarities among all the pieces i witnessed tonight: connection, control and abandonment!“
- “Thank you for giving the opportunity to see and discover all these talents and for the possibility to talk directly with them”
- “Awesome!”
