Dhvani – The Earth Speaks

Earth Speaks is an evening-length odyssey; a multi-disciplinary work with Bharatanatyam, Classical music and Spoken word poetry interwoven to raise awareness on climate change. The work reflects our interconnectedness with nature and our impact on climate. It is a story of a woman, who is a metaphor for earth. What she says to all that is happening around her, her whelm and us. When that connection, that umbilical cord is disturbed or even severed what happens to our being, our existence? The production incorporates Indian mythology and contemporary stories to tell the story of the EARTH in HER voice. A show for all ages that was nominated for the prestigious Isadora Duncan Award for Outstanding Company Performance.

Community Health Chats – Light, Love and Lola

Join us for an informal introspection in the life of a photojournalist as he shares his journey through the affects of PTSD. Ed Zirkle has been a photojournalist for over 50 years. Early in his career, he signed up for the Army during the Vietnam War era and ended up being a criminal investigation photographer at Ft Bragg. Ed never realized what effect this had on him until several years ago leading to his diagnosis of PTSD.

Ed will share how his use of photography became a form of therapy without his realization, how relationships are better than pills, and how his rescue dog Lola all brought him to where he is today. He is boots on the ground still trying to figure out what works, what doesn’t, and getting closer to accepting the life he is in. Photojournalism isn’t something Ed does, it’s something he lives.

Ed says this has been a thrilling ride to the top of the hill and an ugly view from the valley. Come hear his story about what brought him to where he is today.
