Spoken Word/Benefit
Climbing PoeTree
Friday July 09, 2010
$15-$50 sliding scale donation - 8pm
Join Climbing PoeTree, Richelle Donigan, Sparlha Swa, and other special guests in a not-to-be-missed benefit for Common Fire and Be Present! Poetry, dance, music and more to nourish the soul.
Climbing PoeTree is the expression of a growing movement for radical social change. Alixa and Naima have sharpened their art as a tool for popular education, community organizing, and personal transformation. With roots in Haiti and Colombia, Alixa and Naima reside in Brooklyn and track footprints across the country and globe on a mission to overcome destruction with creativity
Richelle Evelyn Sigele Donigan's creativity reveals itself as she moves. It erupts and subsides like lightning in a storm. She has performed with Seal, Prince, and Alice Walker. Now home again in the Bay Area, she performs with the Dance Brigade, and is an active part of Common Fire West and Be Present.
Common Fire and Be Present are nonprofit organizations helping people to live our dreams for wholeness, justice and sustainability. We invite you to learn about our community building work here in the Bay Area. We are thrilled to have such inspiring visionary artists as Alixa, Naima and Richelle as supporters and partners and are proud to bring them back to La Peña for this incredible evening. Their show sold out here before - don't miss your opportunity this time!
