| "We
loved it as it flowed in all directions, advancing and
retreating like ocean waves and cresting individuals.
The presentation exuded energy, whimsy, and playfulness,
catching both players and audience in its spell. We
felt joyful to participate in this wondrous creation,
which melded different stories into coherent art."
Marilyn Amer, professor, University of Colorado.

2000, the company's very successful national outreach
program, established ongoing communities in ten cities
across the United States and Canada (Greenwich, Connecticut/
New York, New York; Denver/Boulder, Colorado; Seattle,
Washington; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Wilmington, North Carolina;
San Antonio, Texas; Andover/Lawrence, Massachusetts;
Laramie, Wyoming; Los Angeles, California ; San Francisco/Oakland,
California; Halifax, Nova Scotia). With our partners
in each city we collaborated with over 300 organizations
nationwide to reach youth, seniors, and underserved
physically and mentally challenged populations. In our
workshops and classes we taught over 3600 people and
interacted with an additional 1500 people as audience
members for the individual city showings |
|
| The
project culminated in "Confetti Conspiracy,"
an epic piece of art which included 100 performers from
twelve different cities across the United States and Canada,
including thirty-five performers from the Boulder community.
This very diverse group of performers brought together
their different stories and perspectives to create a piece
of art that both moved and challenged audience members
with its beauty and its courage. |

| "Confetti
2000" was the story of a group of very diverse human
beings finding their way into creating a loving community
and finding their own personal roles in making that community
a good place to be. It is an ongoing story of old and
young, and every body in between, taking back with them
a new sense of who they are in their own hearts, and a
new idea of who they can be in their community at home. |
