a Movement Choir Performance

OF THE PEOPLE is a communal movement project presented at Five Points Art Center in Torrington, CT. The project's intention is to evoke the spirit of regeneration and community in this celebratory marking of our 250th anniversary as a nation.

This movement choir is directed by choreographer Paula Josa-Jones. Paula is a dance artist, choreographer, movement educator and therapist known for her visually rich, emotionally charged dance theater. Her work includes choreography for humans; inter-species work with horses, dancers and riders; film, and video. Paula's collaborators in developing this event and festivities include Jill Drew, Patricia Oris and Amy Wynn.

Choreographer and project director, Paula Josa-Jones, stated, "Movement, especially the shared experience of finding that movement together through improvisation and deep listening, changes and connects us in profound and unexpected ways. We are excited to share that with our community.".

A movement choir is a form of community performance where groups of people collaboratively create and perform movement, focusing on the healing, inspirational experience of moving together. In addition to the movement choir, there will be food, music, dancing and an interactive, participatory art-making.
