This is for our Southern California friends and families -- boy you're in for a treat this weekend! Presented by Great Leap, the organization that our Mr. Hyphen 2007 represented, Collaboratory is a series of mentorship initiatives that aims to pass down the knowledge of doing art in and for the community. Obviously this program has been very successful because two years into it and they're on Collaboratory V already.
Luke is working hard behind the scenes to make this happen so be sure to head out and support him!
Directed by Dan Kwong, this round showcases the results of an 8-week intensive of performance-based workshops for ten Interfaith emerging artists. Using personal stories, dance, poetry, and song, they'll share their exchanges on faith. Come witness their plunge into the deep as they question: How can multi-dimensional religious identities live side by side? How do we navigate religious conflicts with intelligence and compassion? How can we create progressive and respectful visions for the future?

WHERE: National Center for the Preservation of Democracy
