April 9, 2008 was the night we, the students presented our multigenre projects to our classmates. That night we shared a bit of ourselves, we learned a lot about various topics/subjects we didn’t know about, and we laughed and cried together. It was an incredible evening. Below is an interpretive dance. I created, what I thought was a dance to show the dysfuntion; struggles; overcoming; and praises of Donnie McClurkin’s life. This was my first attempt of trying to do an interpretive dance….so as you view it…..go easy on me!!

Toni – I just had to comment here in addition to my own reflection on my blog from the other night. Your presentation was so beautiful and very moving. If you hadn’t shared with us that you had never danced before, I wouldn’t have known the difference. You can tell his story affected you, and your dance really conveyed your emotions and the passion you had for this project. You could “feel” your dance…. and the poem for two voices…beautifully written. Fantastic job!
