Cattleya in 2016
redmoonwhitemoonbluemoon
We had the opportunity of being involved in a powerful performance piece that our Director conceived and led with two other artists. Bringing together dance, visual image and poetry, redmoonwhitemoonbluemoon explores concepts of the divine feminine and seeks to promote the normalization of menstruation. This 2-part performance was attended by over 60 people and several of our volunteers were instrumental in its production. Follow this link for more information.

No Fixed Address - Improvisation Workshop
Weekly program at Sin Violencia A.C.
In December, we completed 15 months doing weekly visits to Sin Violencia A.C. - a shelter for women and their children in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In these visits, we offer 2-hour workshops where we dance, play, act, write and draw with the women while exploring and creating new performances with them. The shelter houses 8-15 women at a time and they each stay for an average of 3 months. With this format, in 2016 we impacted at least 40 women. We are looking forward to make the program stronger in 2017 and opening a monthly open workshop at Sin Violencia's public office.
