alixa & naima | | SURVIVING HURRICANE SEASON In November we celebrated the realization of of our goal with the most landmark production of our career: a multi-media show, national organizing strategy, and eco-justice tour that obliterated the boundaries between performance and activism! We traveled over 10,000 miles with an all-women crew in a grease-powered bus, delivering "Hurricane Season: the hidden messages in water" to over 8,800 people in more than 50 cities, and featuring 150 community-based organizations to draw vital connections between shared struggles and common solutions in a critical moment in human history. We are currently turning Hurricane Season into a multi-media curriculum for high school and college students with the help of a team of 7 amazing educators, activist, and artists. And we are translating Hurricane Season into a 2-D multi-dimensional BOOK and DVD! stay tuned:www.hurricaneseasontour.com | WORD! SOUND! POWER! We've been recording new lyrical libations and mixing melodies and music!!! watch out now! a new album is on its way...! a hot-off-the-heart can be heard on myspace.com/climbingpoetree.
