As Rodney and I have been on this "Just As I Am" journey, we've done a lot of thinking and growing and learning. It's like our project has been a catalyst for us to put our focus on the human body and how it relates to our personhood--our whole being. We've seen people experience healing on very deep levels, people completely shift the way they see themselves, people change how they view others. It has exceeded our expectations. Rodney simply responded to a need for art that celebrates the beauty and dignity of who we are as people, with the hope that he could also help some of his clients who struggled with body image (sorry for the over-used term). It has done so much more.
On the 9th, we would like to share with a wider audience some of what we've learned from this project. We would love for more people to benefit from the message and the art in our book. (And to find more homes for the stacks of books in our studio!) And we think that hearing stories from people who have experienced transformation through the project will inspire and encourage people. We've planned the evening to feel like a talk show, complete with guest appearances by a musician and a comedian. It should be a fun night.
Here are the details:
Wednesday, June 9th
7:30-9:30 (doors open 7:00)
Gas Station Theatre (River near Osborne beside Subway)
A talk-show style event. Come be part of our live audience as we tape our version of Oprah/Ellen/The Hour...
Find out why 80+ Winnipeggers bared all for an art project and how it is changing lives and challenging perspectives.
Hear the story of why the project began, what it has led to, and where it's going.
Plus, expect some other guests providing entertainment and their own commentary on the potentials and effects of this project.
Tickets $10 at the door. Call 221-8413 (10-5) to reserve and make sure.
