Performance Opportunity: Coffee & The Arts THIS FRIDAY
by Bailey Pfohl 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

FRIDAY, July 10, 2020 7pm on Zoom For this month's performance we ask, "What inspires you?" The word Inspire comes from the Latin word 'inspirare', when translated into English means, "The drawing of air into the lungs." From that comes the definition, "to fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative." In today's climate, the world can sometimes feel overwhelming, encircling, or suffocating. We want to know what art helps you breathe? What gives you the urge to do or feel? For this Coffee & The Arts we'd like for you to pick an act, scene, song, dance, expressive makeup, poem, piece of art, etc. that inspires you in daily life to perform. Performances can consist of any family-friendly material lasting a maximum of 5 minutes. >>> You must REGISTER TO ATTEND this free Zoom event here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIpduuhqjsqHNZsYM8_jWmwhqZx5MHx0-….
