Unity in 3 Parts: Soul Food Cypher
2017-04-29 20:00 - 22:00 | Historic Eighth Street Baptist Church, S. 8th Street & W. Slaton Ave, Griffin, GA, 30223, United States
Unity in 3 Parts: a Rosenwald School Homecoming mobilizes a team of artists, educators and local people with innovative presentation and education along 1.9 miles of Fairmont, for neighborhood transformation through the life of the rehabilitation of Historic Fairmont Rosenwald School. Among entrepreneurial bent, community driven public art and dynamic learning initiatives for a variety of children and social groups, Unity in 3 Parts signalizes the power of place to initiate dialogue between rich architectural and cultural traditions embedded in Fairmont Rosenwald School. In previous project phases, glo activated immersive art experiences, shops, and conversation in local schools, gardens, and Main St. sidewalks.
Poetry parlors forge the power of speech to meter and rhyme transforming people at all life stages and where new and future artists speak freely and share stories from their communities. Join glo & Soul Food Cypher for this free and public gathering within the community.
Soul Food Cypher utilizes the power of speech to transform the lives of individuals and their communities. They are an organization that showcases the positive aspects of rap through our cypher events, membership program, and community outreach. Their aim is to provide Atlanta’s lyricist (rappers) community with a safe and nurturing environment where their voice and artistry can grow. In addition, they look to solidify the art of freestyling as a genuine aesthetic to the wider artistic community and carry this rich tradition to the next generation.

A quiet, slow-paced, creative practice that anyone can join and enjoy. It is an invitation to come home to your body and to find the ancient, naked mind that might have gotten tucked away inside it.
The body is a landscape, and landscape is a body. With this notion, Eiko offers a simple but richly nuanced movement vocabulary that each participant can adopt to suit his or her own body, time sense and taste. By doing so, people are encouraged to develop a lifelong pleasure in moving their body and seeing and appreciating others’ bodies. The class will further reflect on what is it to be metaphorically naked, what is it to be kind, and how learning movement reveals and alters our relationships with the environment and with other beings.
Emphatically noncompetitive, this workshop is open to all ages and backgrounds. No previous dance or athletic training is necessary.
