Some platitudes don’t get along on the playground.

If change is inevitable, and children are the future, shouldn’t we be listening to young people’s experiences more deeply?

This performance is inspired by African-American author and social activist, Toni Cade Bambara:

“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”

Joining choral singing with spoken word art, this is a collaboration with the incredible Hamilton You Poets, featuring percussionist Jamie Drake.

In this performance, you’ll hear voices considering where and when they see a need for change, and how and why it needs to happen.

art is constantly changing shapes. Whether it be a change in the pattern or cut
of a design, or a change in the painter’s interpretation of a landscape, or a
potter’s experimentation with different forms, art is not stagnant. It is a
living thing that grows and changes over time, constantly changing shapes.

excellence.    Here you will find unique treasures for all
budgets.

colours of fall in our historic Valley Town. While you are visiting, plan to
