a Party 
Inspired by last year's successful Garden Party, we invite you to celebrate Hartford, dance, possibility, and the space to move on Thursday, May 24th from 6-9pm - the perfect kick-off to the memorial day weekend. In lieu of this month's talking dance forum and works in progress showing, we hope this informal potluck gathering will provide the opportunity to share a few moments of laughter, nourishment, and ideas about the revitalization of our cultural community. So, bring a dish, an openness to engage, and the potential for movement.
Let us know if you can attend:
