This past weekend 'Mover' James Koroni was invited to be the guest choreographer in Kelley Donovan's monthly company performance entitled Kelley Donovan & Dancers. Viewers had the pleasure of seeing Tracey Katof, James Koroni and Jessica Chou perform Please, Don't Touch and a new work by choreographer Kelley Donovan entitled Fractured Realm.
I admire Kelley Donovan & Dancers because they carry such respect for one another and their hospitality and warmth was extended to the Enforced Arch community making this experience such a pleasure to have had! We look forward to working with them again in the future. Take a look at some moments we captured from that evening:

Enforced Arch's Anti-Fur performance piece, Please, Don't Touch, was featured in 3rd Ward's Semi-Annual Art Gallery Showcase. ‘Please, Don’t Touch’ focuses energy on a topic that sits at the intersection of social justice, ecology and design.

We tend to seek commonalities in relationships with other people before we can relate but by releasing that need for a cultural comfort zone, you create more acceptance.

I hope to travel the world one day and share my "voice" with others. This past weekend I traveled south a few hours to our nations capitol, Washington D.C., for the Annual

I contacted Marlena Pavich, a compassionate costume designer and film stylist, to create the anti-fur pants that would simulate the half goat element of our character. Using all recycled vegan materials, she constructed the most brilliant interpretation of a Satyr I could have ever imagined!
As we walked on stage you could hear clinking silverware and people boasting about the bread sticks. The room was silenced by our focus, intention and powerful advocacy. The music began, our bodies shivered and the story was told.
Taking a moment to realize our experience here on this planet is blind to suffering, society shelters us from these issues because it wants us to stay ignorant to what suffering exists. With information compassionate people take action and this isn’t what the Fur industry wants. “We must be the rebel, and reclaim our position of being the visionary.
