This is a story about hope...and how we found it. The Schiff Dance Collective is embarking on a new project. We will use movement and spoken word to educate, and bring peace to our community regarding the struggles involved with our own or our loved one's addictions.
We have begun by holding movement/writing workshops to collect stories from our community. I am writing this blog so these experiences can be shared.
This has been a powerful experience that has begun a movement of healing. We dove into our darkness and came back up to the light. We realized that there is a choice. To choose something else besides our addiction and the work involved in doing so. What started out as an idea for a show has begun to create a community. A community that does not judge or discriminate but supports and allows people to be who they are.
I will post our experiences here. But if you find something that calls to you add your experience. You never know who it may help. And after all we can not overcome our addictions alone.
