Art created through dance

“Do good. Feel good. Live good.”
This shirt was worn by first solo act dancer and the lead choreographer for the Live! After Earth performance at Havana Club in Ho Chi Minh City.
Art unites us ✨️🫶✨️
When we search for beauty and connection in the world, we look to art to guide us. Throughout the millennia art has inspired us feel the divine and sublime all around us, and deep inside ourselves.
It is the tool we use to express ourselves, to find what is unique within us, and share it with the world.
When many artists collaborate in a single vision, we see their unique talents and voices come together to create a true beauty.
On Thursday, August 17th, we came together to create a dance, art, and fashion performance that told a story of hope in the face of overwhelming despair. It demonstrated how we can work together to reject the fear and frustration of climate crisis, of xenophobia, of isolation, of exploitation.
Art has always been the pioneer of social change. In today’s world, the need for social, political, and economic changes are obvious everywhere we look. The internet is filled with horrific news. Climate change disaster is spreading across the globe.
But what can we do?
We can come together in a worldwide creative brainstorming project and get WEIRD!
Wisdom
Empathy
Intelligence
Responsibility &
Desire to explore new hope for the future
The WEIRDrpg is a collaborative creative storytelling project, which will be on display in September in HCMC. Our mission is to inspire all of us to think critically about social change, and how we can impact the future by changing our perspective today. When we value WEIRD principles we become the best versions of ourselves, and WE become the hope of the human race.
Please join us at XYZ Café & Artspace from September 9 – 16 and explore the possibilities of a new future filled with hope.
If you missed the Live! After Earth art, dance and fashion performance, you can still see the video documentary and the Good Elements Reborn Fashion Show at the exhibition on Sunday, September 10.
