MDDB will bring dance and art into the community, providing a more holistic viewpoint of how the community can enriched with themes of empowerment and fun.
All Ages • Perry Square • Noon to 1 p.m.
Sessions begin with a brief discussion of the week’s empowerment topic followed by a performance from either the Lake Effect Hoop Troop or a featured guest artist.
The weekly topics may include:
Beauty from Within
Finding Strength
Self-Care
Self-Esteem
Growth
Standing Up for Yourself and Others
Progressing Through Obstacles
Community Connectedness
MDDB will feature a weekly visual artist who will create a piece inspired by the weekly theme. The artist will use different mediums to work on the piece throughout the session, which will later be displayed for sale in gallery format at CVC. The proceeds will be split between the artist and the project’s revenue.
An established group of amateur artists from CVC’s Creative Healing Group will contribute to the gallery with art inspired by MDDB.
After each session, attendees will be encouraged to join in a dance workshop, where they will be given information about the week’s artist and theme, as well as the project as a whole and the CVC’s free services.
Questions can be directed to Angie or Zac at CVCerie at 814-455-9414
