[Jubilee] Fwd: BuildaBridge Institute 2007

[Christopher Fitz]

Greetings friends of the Jubilee,

Now that my daughter is born and our house is settling into a new rhythm 
(YEAH!), i have found a little time to pass this on....

I wanted to share this opportunity for an intensive and accredited 
training program in arts and social change work in the Philadelphia 
area.  I will be leading a session on theater/movement techniques and 
hope to participate as well.  Build-a-Bridge International has had 
ongoing interest in the work of the Jubilee Troupe and the Jubilee 
Arts-becoming.  Their multi-faceted work provides a wealth of resource 
by connecting artists of different disciplines and their diverse social 
change projects.  Read on....
