Looking for family fun in Milwaukee? I spoke with event organizers about two very cool community events happening this weekend. Dance For Hope and Talk Yo Talk Poetry are both all about highlighting the vibrant arts community in Milwaukee. The following is a transcript of our conversations.
GIDEON VERDIN:
“I’m here with the ALYCE with dance for hope. You have an amazing event coming up on Saturday. Tell us about it.”
ALYCE ANDREWS- DANCE FOR HOPE:
“Well Dance for Hope is an event for the City of Milwaukee. We’re bringing dancers and companies all over the city to come for one purpose to be united to share hope with the city.”
GIDEON VERDIN:
“What is it about dance that brings hope?”
ALYCE ANDREWS- DANCE FOR HOPE:
“Well, dance is a universal language. This is normally not done. We’re normally in our own little pockets doing our own thing, which is very, very good. But the vision is to come together for one purpose. And we’re just going to share hope with the City of Milwaukee through dance, and we’ve become united we’ve come to a new community, and community is key to having healing in this city. We’re gonna have modern, we’re gonna have hip hop, we’re gonna have classical ballet. We’re gonna have many cultural groups. We’re gonna have jazz, we’re gonna have all sorts of fun dancing. This event is free. This is open, please come show up. You are welcome. This is our gift to the city. of Milwaukee.”
