LINEUP

Sponge vs…
by Nick Alselmo

“Sponge vs…” is a solo that takes a look into the mind of someone struggling with the internal conflict of feeling safe in solace, weighed down by insecurity, and displeased with the false sense of progress in human interactions. Movement and voice are used as a device for the performer to unpack these issues.

Costume/Set Design: Nick Alselmo
Music: Chris Isaak, Flying Lotus, MIKE, Kirby Komodo, Cities Aviv, S. Maharba, & Mtbrd

Spirit of Life
by MA’AM

To the members of the UU Fellowship Williamsburg Chapter,

As you may know, our dear minister, Dee, and her wife, Claud, are on their honeymoon in Bermuda this week so fellow members, choir director Toby-Ellen and religious education leader Arcadia, will be leading the service and giving the sermon this week, in addition to their usual accompaniments. They have a few surprises in store for you at their revolutionary sermon on “God” and “Sexual Freedom!” Unfortunately i won’t be able to make it but I’m sure it will not be a service to miss!

With Love and Spiritual Awareness,
Frida Weisfelt, Board President of Williamsburg UU Chapter
