R.Evolución Latina Concluded the 2015 Beyond Workshop Series
My non-profit organization R.Evolución Latina concluded tonight the 2015 Beyond Workshop Series. It's been so rewarding seeing this students grow. The BWS started February 23rd at The National Dance Institute for
Learning & the Arts, and had its' first student sharing as part of the dance
program on March 6th under the direction of Rickey Tripp and Gabriela
García.
The second part of the program, started March 9th focused
on Shakespeare and Voice and concluded tonight with a presentation of the students
work.
Seeing them take the risks and go beyond in every artistic and human step is something that I can not really measure at the moment. I must wait a bit and see the result of the planted seeds in them.

Heather Hogan, Denisse Ambert, Monica Delgado and many more volunteers. The students are so committed to developing an honest process and are
challenge daily to go beyond. WE LOVE IT!Tonight the group reunited for a final evening of sharing, of exposing the PROCESS of GOING BEYOND and making ART WITH A PURPOSE to the audience. I am lucky to learn from each of this souls by directing the presentation. But I am more than BLESSED to witness the kind hearts of the DONATE THEIR TIME AND ART because they believe they can INSPIRE LIVES with their ART.
The Shakespeare program was directed by Ian Hersey, the musical numbers by William
Wade and Marcus Paul James, the fantastic collaboration at the The National Dance Institute are all fantastic confirmations that ART MATTERS AND CAN INSPIRE LIVES!
