This is a performance art project that I have been working on for almost two years now.  It is a multi-genre art piece containing vast elements of dance, theater, music, and visual effects.  Everything is original and student made/performed.  It is my artistic masterpiece thus far, and I am very proud to be presenting it this March 2011.

COMMON GROUND

An original multi-genre art performance

March 11/12 2011

Sonoma State University  Ives Hall 119

7:30pm

We are one people; in collaboration with one another in the aim of creating a better world. One that is transparent, tolerant, and radiates an equality and unity among human beings. This is common ground. This world. All around you. Within you. We are sharing this space together. This moment.

And together we share the future.
