Funds provided to OhioDance will help further their program begun last year with Amethyst Inc. which brings to female ex-offenders, who are in recovery, and their children, who are all residents in the Amethyst program, the opportunity to receive core-training and dance instruction. This project will culminate in a performance at the Statehouse on April 27th during the OhioDance Festival, April 25-27th. Dance is able to communicate every emotion and feeling and through its own language of choreography and this will allow these women and their children to have a voice to dance-out their individual and collective story through Dance. Taking ownership of their own story and its emotional content will be part of their recovery and transition to a creative and meaningful life. That mother and child will interact will be an emotional experience that they are willing to share and we ask that you be there to share these moments More information: www.ohiodance.org
