“ASP teaches that writing history as drama is more than simply dropping in data... The next step is [what] we call soul-raising, an understanding that we are all shaped by our history, culture, environment, families, education, and experiences.” — Judy Tate & Melissa Murray-Mutch bit.ly/ATRJRSVP26

“The reaching in to share a story with the body is a deepening of the story and a felt sense of one’s narrative. In the sharing, we find truth telling both from the storyteller and the witnessing community. We see it as a courageous act of reciprocated generosity.” — Kimani Fowlin bit.ly/ATRJRSVP26

“Your practices, whether or not they are intentional, are evident in your life & work. They are the foundation on which your life & art are built. Life is not lived to make art. Life is the art itself. Practice is the way. It does not reveal the art – it is the art.” — Mei Ann Teo bit.ly/ATRJRSVP26
