In this lively evening of filmed performances, Nashville-based dancers, poets, musicians, and theatre-makers reflect on the revelations, revolutions, and resiliency of the day. The event features short-form works from 8 different projects, many from OZ past and present, that explore personal vulnerability, civic responsibility, and the sheer madness of the unexpected. Together, these inspiring artists share a vision of the world we hope to build together and spark the hope that will fuel us into the future.
