> Hi all,
> Wanted you to know about a special multi-media performance entitled  
> "Hurricane Season" that will take place at COA this Sunday evening  
> 9/19 at 7:00. (read description below) This group performed at  
> Unity to great acclaim on Thursday. These wonderful women spent the  
> night at our house hoping to perform at Colby College but due to a  
> bureaucratic snafoo the show was cancelled.  Very fortunately, COA  
> offered space for a Sunday performance.  Because the venue is a bit  
> too small, they won't be able to use all of the bells and whistles  
> but I'm assured that it will be just as profound, inspirational and  
> hopeful. Check out their website: http://

> Please share this email & tell your friends!
>
>  Hope to see you all there.

>     "Hurricane Season" is a multi-media two-woman show about unnatural
> disaster and a great shift in universal consciousness. Through a
> tapestry of spoken-word poetry, video projection, dance, shadow art,
> and a sound collage of personal testimonies, "Hurricane Season" is a
> two womyn-show connecting the issues that surfaced in the aftermath of
> Hurricane Katrina to the unnatural disasters disenfranchised
> communities are experiencing nationwide and worldwide on a daily
> basis.
>

> Climbing PoeTree, recently completed a national tour with this
> ground-breaking, multi-media show that obliterates the boundaries
> between performance and activism. With roots in Haiti and Colombia,
> Alixa and Naima reside in Brooklyn and track footprints across the
> country and globe on a mission to overcome destruction with
> creativity. After a summer of shows at the renowned National Black
> Theater in Harlem, "Hurricane Season: the hidden messages in water"
> will hit the road again in their veggie-oil powered bus to tour the
> Northeast.
>
>     "Hurricane Season" tackles global warming, environmental  
> injustice,
> policing, prisons, militarization, corporate domination,
> gentrification, and displacement as they manifest from one gulf to
> another, with a powerful tale of resistance, resilience, creativity
> and survival.
>
>     Rhythmic and uplifting, revealing and deeply moving, "Hurricane
> Season" seeks not to captivate audiences, but to liberate them.
