FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

“Collective + Hope” joins Hope Stone Dance and community partners from The Hope Project

Houston, TX (October 26, 2016) – On December 8, 2016, Hope Stone Dance returns to the stage for an evening that embodies Hope Stone’s vision – “Art for All.” Sharing the stage with Hope Stone Dance are four community partners from Hope Stone’s arts education program The Hope Project: the powerful “Warrior Beat” veterans drumming circle hosted by the Veterans Resource Center; a moving monologue by a Cristo Rey Jesuit High School student; the entire fourth grade class of Poe Elementary in a dance work #nice and a special dance performance by the 4-year-old children of Generation One Academy, an early education school in Houston’s Third Ward. Hope Stone Dance premieres you see it from outside, an ensemble work with a puppet, under the advisement of Houston puppeteer Kevin Taylor, and their joyous and profound work change is inevitable. It is an evening of unity and hope, demonstrating we all possess artistry no matter our backgrounds or circumstance.
