Transcendence Artist Project- WEEK 4

This week we directed our passionate focus towards community. We fostered our relationships with the people of Punta Banda through the kick-off of our bi-monthly community night, "Skits Under the Stars". It proved to be a hilarious evening of Improv games and joyful sing-a-longs in which we were able to get the full and eager participation of everyone who came. We were blown away by the level of commitment and sense of play that everyone brought to the table!



In addition to our community night, we were visited by our "green theatre" specialist Michael Crowley who helped us explore ways in which our country’s performing arts organizations can utilize practices and programming to educate patrons about pressing ecological issues. Our exploration culminated with an eco-show, "Teatro Verde", in which we performed songs and skits about the environment and ways in which we can all make a difference. After the performance, we participated in Earth Hour (www.earthhour.org) by continuing our environmental discussion in the theatre by candlelight.



Finally, to close out the week, we joined with the community for a beach clean-up followed by a delightful brunch at Baja Mama's restaurant!
