The Project: Some backstory

Edited March 19, 2009 to add: our Open Letter to the Dance Program, and A Note to Visitors.

Who we are: students at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities' dance program.

What we are doing: Physically--sticking pieces of paper with text on them, on the walls of the Barbara Barker Center for Dance. Intellectually-- that's something for the reader to know, or to discover for themselves.

When we began: the 10th of February, 2009.

Why: That is both too big and too personal a question to answer here, but we acknowledge that the post- Dance Revolutions run cast discussion that happened in the Barker lobby on Monday the 9th of February 2009 was a catalyst.

What does 'thisbyus' mean: THIS is what it is. To every word, every article, every thought on the walls, we say, 'THIS'. This right here. This right now. And this is by us, for us, with us.

THIS
by
us.
