PROPOSAL A choreographic Performance Art piece based on the poetic imagery of the American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. Our proposal moves on horseback between the virtuosity of Butôh dance, and the revaluation of all corporal poetry.

It should be noted that these verbal movements never move away from the literary traditionbecause the historical memory and the collective identity is one of the cultural fronts, but the main task of experimentation, promoting the renewal, modernization and reinterpretation of cultural tradition. Take a peek at the hard life and many accomplishments of Maya Angelou's world through the amateur corporal poetry. The intervention comes up from some of her short poems, confronting words and silence, light and obscurity, movement and calmness.

GS presents a set of artistic practices which take as their theoretical and practical point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context, rather than an independent and private space. That is to say that GS projects tend to break with the traditional physical and social space of the art gallery and the requested artist studio or atelier. GS takes as its subject the entirety of life as it is lived, or the dynamic social environment, rather than attempting a from daily life. In even simpler terms, the goal is to create a social circumstance of the constructed social environment becomes the art, the task of we as artists is to become a conduit for this social experience. to that end, often creating a physical space to be used for a particular (often ephemeral) performance art piece, almost anything could them: a communal meal, a discussion....even sitting around. GS makes live interventions inspired by punk, comics, cinema, science, nightmares & dreams by live soundscaping & our own style of visceral movement theater & dance. Our work is a catharsis through collision and conflict challenging how we see the audience, architecture, music, history, myth, and reality. It comes out of a deep desire for conspiracy, soul-exchange, and transformation.

Human Environment Interaction is the most important issue to involve Arkansas community spirit. The city intervenes with the environment in many ways providing a feeling of home away from home for thousands of visitors each month. We offer a diverse approach and interaction. In even simpler terms, the goal is to create a common circumstance from the constructed social environment becoming in an art piece, our task as artists is to be a conduit for this social experience. To that end, often creating a physical space to be used for a particular (often ephemeral) performance art piece, almost anything could them: a communal meal, a discussion.... Rescuing collective conscious, economically sound, surrounded by beautiful nature with the unique quality of life and heritage of a small community in the Ozarks mountains. Create a bridge between citizens of the World seeing beyond our own social interaction bubble.
