Movement and Creativity are vital to our lives. When we direct our focus to deepening connections to ourselves, each other and life itself, our experience of life becomes fertile, rich, vibrant. Movement: classes, workshops, experiments, performances, curiosity, discovery. Creativity: art, music, process, creation, discussion, experiencing, learning. The body is the physical aspect of the personality and movement is the personality made visible.- Mary Starks Whitehouse http://www.tiffanysankary …

The thing Artists and Activists have in common is a passion for their work. I hope to mesh these passions in this group. Art, political and social activism have long been happy bedfellows. Think of Picasso’s Guernica Night, Susan Crile’s Abu Graib series, and more locally to Connecticut, the Cycle of Terror and Tragedy, September 11 by Graydon Parrish housed at the New Britain Museum of American Art. As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …

With the advent of the millennium it has become quite clear that the traditional institutions and power structures are inadequate in providing an evolutionary path for the species that maximizes happiness and reflects our true capacities and wis …

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …
