What Color is Love? with Alexandra, Lucy, Mary, Antoinette & Jeri

<p>Dr. Fred is joined today by five guests, collaborators on an art project called What Color is Love? This group of artists came together to produce a short video piece for the 2020 Virtual Year-End Vacation course offered by Landmark Education's Wisdom Division. The theme of this year's event is “Celebration of Humanity.” Ultimately, the team created a piece that incorporates song, poetry, dance, visual beauty, and an invitation to reflect on a provocative question. </p> <p>Creative Team:</p> <p>Alexandra Isaievych > visual artist, dancer Lucy Pearce > poet Mary Alterman > visual artist Antoinette Cooper > poet, singer, photographer Jeri Passaro > Designated Listener </p> <p>Other contributors to the creative project:</p> <p>Jurni Roco > dancer Marty Alterman > video editor Nestor Chornovus > video editor</p> <p> </p> <p>Today’s show explores the project background and the team’s process of collaboration and co-creation.
