2017-03-12 10:13:15.722	FROM THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL TO THE 

2017-03-12 10:13:17.724	COMMUNITY LEVEL. 

2017-03-12 10:13:17.725	WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:13:21.723	INDIVIDUAL SPRINTS ALL THE WAY 

2017-03-12 10:13:21.724	TO HUMAN EXPERIENCE. 

2017-03-12 10:13:22.722	YOU THINK ABOUT THAT PLANE, 

2017-03-12 10:13:27.732	WHICH QUADRANT ARE YOU WORKING 

2017-03-12 10:13:28.728	IN? 

2017-03-12 10:13:29.726	YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE 

2017-03-12 10:13:31.775	INDIVIDUAL, THE COMMUNITY, OR 

2017-03-12 10:13:33.764	THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE AT THE 

2017-03-12 10:13:34.764	BROADER LEVEL? 

2017-03-12 10:13:35.766	WE THOUGHT BECAUSE THIS WORK IS 

2017-03-12 10:13:38.765	SO LARGE, AND OFTEN I GET ASKED

2017-03-12 10:13:43.765	WHERE DO YOU START, THERE NEEDS 

2017-03-12 10:13:43.767	TO BE SOME STRATEGY OF FOR WORK

2017-03-12 10:13:47.766	SO COMMUNITIES CAN UNDERSTAND 

2017-03-12 10:13:47.767	YOU CAN WORK ON THE INDIVIDUAL 

2017-03-12 10:13:48.77	ASPECT OF THIS OR THE MUCH 

2017-03-12 10:13:50.79	LARGER COMMUNITY LEVEL OF 

2017-03-12 10:13:52.77	DRAWING THINGS TOGETHER. 

2017-03-12 10:13:53.772	[LAUGHTER] 

2017-03-12 10:13:56.77	YOU CANNOT SEE IT, BUT THAT IS 

2017-03-12 10:14:00.779	THE IDEA. 

2017-03-12 10:14:00.779	>> AWESOME. 

2017-03-12 10:14:01.771	IT WAS A VERY COMBATIVE GROUP. 

2017-03-12 10:14:04.765	THERE WERE A LOT OF KNIFE HANDS 

2017-03-12 10:14:09.766	GOING ON. 

2017-03-12 10:14:09.767	[LAUGHTER] 

2017-03-12 10:14:10.819	>> THE SECOND POINT, THIS WAS 

2017-03-12 10:14:14.814	THE MOST HOTLY CONTESTED THING, 

2017-03-12 10:14:15.816	MOSTLY BY ME. 

2017-03-12 10:14:16.819	WE GOT TO A POINT OF AGREEMENT. 

2017-03-12 10:14:18.81	IT IS THE SENSE, AND WE TALKED 

2017-03-12 10:14:21.861	ABOUT THIS IN THE GROUP ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:14:22.892	WHERE ART CAME IN, ARE TO 

2017-03-12 10:14:30.914	GROW, NOT -- ART DEGROAT, NOT 

2017-03-12 10:14:36.972	ABSTRACTLY. 

2017-03-12 10:14:37.973	THE VALUE OF AN INTERMEDIARY IN 

2017-03-12 10:14:41.975	A COMMUNITY. 

2017-03-12 10:14:41.976	FOR ANY THAT WAS ART AND HIS 

2017-03-12 10:14:47.045	ABILITY TO CONNECT THE DOTS. 

2017-03-12 10:14:49.016	FOR US IT IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE

2017-03-12 10:14:56.015	A CHANNEL TO SPEAK WITH THE 

2017-03-12 10:14:56.017	MILITARY AND VETERAN SERVICE

2017-03-12 10:15:06.059	TOGETHER PEOPLE TOGETHER, AND A 

2017-03-12 10:15:08.061	BIG PIECE THAT CAME UP IS HOW DO 

2017-03-12 10:15:10.06	WE CONVENE AROUND FUNDING. 

2017-03-12 10:15:12.062	THIS IS ONE OF THE AREAS THAT I 

2017-03-12 10:15:15.146	CAME IN. 

2017-03-12 10:15:16.149	THE IDEA OF HOW DO WE BRING 

2017-03-12 10:15:19.155	PEOPLE TOGETHER TO UNDERSTAND 

2017-03-12 10:15:20.191	AND PROVIDE FUNDING AND WHAT IS 

2017-03-12 10:15:22.283	THE ROLE OF A VSO? 

2017-03-12 10:15:25.31	>> WE SAID WE SHOULD STEAL A

2017-03-12 10:16:05.486	WHAT COULD BE IN A PIPELINE OF 

2017-03-12 10:16:07.525	NEW THINGS COMING ALONG THAT 

2017-03-12 10:16:09.54	PRESENTERS COULD LOOK AT YEARS 

2017-03-12 10:16:12.517	BEFORE AS THEY ARE BEING 

2017-03-12 10:16:13.523	DEVELOPED AND PROJECT THAT OUT. 

2017-03-12 10:16:17.545	>> WE WILL HOLD THE LAST ONE. 

2017-03-12 10:16:21.522	SORRY.

2017-03-12 10:16:28.56	YET THE LAST ONE. 

2017-03-12 10:16:30.596	>> NO. 

2017-03-12 10:16:32.57	THAT IS GOOD. 

2017-03-12 10:16:33.609	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 10:16:35.609	>> GROUP FOUR. 

2017-03-12 10:16:37.611	>> THE SIZE OF THIS ALONE SHOULD 

2017-03-12 10:16:42.664	SCARE YOU. 

2017-03-12 10:16:43.648	PRETEND MELISSA IS NOT THERE. 

2017-03-12 10:16:46.696	THE DRAFT IS ALIVE AND WELL. 

2017-03-12 10:16:48.688	I JUST NOTICED TO MILITARY 

2017-03-12 10:16:51.766	PEOPLE GOT CAST WITH DOING THIS. 

2017-03-12 10:16:56.768	I'M GOING TO GO QUICKLY BECAUSE 

2017-03-12 10:16:58.767	WE DON'T HAVE RESTAURANT. 

2017-03-12 10:16:59.767	EACH OF THESE WERE PARSED WITH A 

2017-03-12 10:17:03.811	LOT OF THOUGHT. 

2017-03-12 10:17:03.812	COMMUNICATION, BUILDING TRUSTED 

2017-03-12 10:17:06.811	RELATIONSHIPS. 

2017-03-12 10:17:06.812	BRIDGING THE CULTURAL GAPS AND 

2017-03-12 10:17:09.81	UNDERSTANDING, THAT'S HEALTH 

2017-03-12 10:17:13.813	CARE IS A DIFFERENT CULTURE, 

2017-03-12 10:17:13.814	ARTS, THE MILITARY IS A 

2017-03-12 10:17:15.816	DIFFERENT CULTURE. 

2017-03-12 10:17:15.817	THE SECOND IS STIGMA. 

2017-03-12 10:17:19.858	THE SENSE OF THE EXPERIENCE OF 

2017-03-12 10:17:21.859	VETERANS AS VALUABLE, INSIGHTFUL 

2017-03-12 10:17:24.859	RATHER THAN DAMAGED. 

2017-03-12 10:17:26.86	THAT IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT 

2017-03-12 10:17:29.873	POINT. 

2017-03-12 10:17:29.874	THROUGH THE ARTS WE SEE THE 

2017-03-12 10:17:31.898	POSSIBILITY NOT THE DISABILITY. 

2017-03-12 10:17:33.905	MULTIPLE POINTS OF CONTACT. 

2017-03-12 10:17:37.98	THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:17:39.983	BEFORE. 

2017-03-12 10:17:39.984	IT IS PREVENTION, PRODUCTION, 

2017-03-12 10:17:43.985	AND POSTPRODUCTION. 

2017-03-12 10:17:43.986	IT IS PROCESSING ALL ALONG THE 

2017-03-12 10:17:47.02	WAY. 

2017-03-12 10:17:47.021	IF WE FORGET THE PROCESSING AT 

2017-03-12 10:17:51.07	THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL AND GROUP 

2017-03-12 10:17:51.071	LEVEL, WE HAVE MISSED AN 

2017-03-12 10:17:53.018	IMPORTANT PART. 

2017-03-12 10:17:53.019	NEXT IS COMPLEXITY OF THIS WORK. 

2017-03-12 10:17:56.018	OBVIOUSLY THERE IS CONCERN THAT 

2017-03-12 10:18:00.067	A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM 

2017-03-12 10:18:00.068	HERE ARE EXPERTS. 

2017-03-12 10:18:03.064	YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG 

2017-03-12 10:18:03.065	TIME. 

2017-03-12 10:18:03.066	OUR CONCERN IS THAT AS PEOPLE 

2017-03-12 10:18:05.085	ARE GETTING INTO THE FIELD, THEY 

2017-03-12 10:18:07.065	DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE 

2017-03-12 10:18:07.066	LEARNED. 

2017-03-12 10:18:07.067	THAT SCARES THE HEALTH CARE SIDE 

2017-03-12 10:18:11.114	A LITTLE BIT. 

2017-03-12 10:18:11.115	WE WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE 

2017-03-12 10:18:13.125	IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING THOSE 

2017-03-12 10:18:15.118	NETWORKS. 

2017-03-12 10:18:15.119	WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT. 

2017-03-12 10:18:17.142	HOMEWORK, HOMEWORK, OR. 

2017-03-12 10:18:21.125	THE LEXICON DISCUSSION WAS 

2017-03-12 10:18:23.122	REALLY IMPORTANT. 

2017-03-12 10:18:23.123	WE DO SPEAK DIFFERENTLY WHICH 

2017-03-12 10:18:25.114	IS. 

2017-03-12 10:18:25.115	UNDERSTANDING THAT LANDSCAPE, 

2017-03-12 10:18:31.173	THESE ARE COMPLEX SYSTEMS. 

2017-03-12 10:18:31.174	THE FIFTH IS WHY ARE YOU DOING 

2017-03-12 10:18:38.245	THIS AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? 

2017-03-12 10:18:39.269	WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT UPFRONT 

2017-03-12 10:18:43.312	TO DEFINE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO 

2017-03-12 10:18:43.312	ACCOMPLISH AND SOME THEORY OF 

2017-03-12 10:18:46.386	HOW YOU WILL MEASURE. 

2017-03-12 10:18:46.387	THAT EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE 

2017-03-12 10:18:51.43	MEASURED IS VALUABLE. 

2017-03-12 10:18:51.431	WE GET THAT. 

2017-03-12 10:18:51.431	BUT SOME THEORY THAT YOU WILL 

2017-03-12 10:18:57.436	ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU SET OUT TO 

2017-03-12 10:18:59.435	ACCOMPLISH. 

2017-03-12 10:18:59.436	MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION, 

2017-03-12 10:19:03.441	CLARITY OF DESIRED OUTCOMES, 

2017-03-12 10:19:06.498	NEEDS ASSESSMENT, DRIVES AND 

2017-03-12 10:19:06.499	PROCESS, AND THINK ABOUT HOW TO 

2017-03-12 10:19:09.528	ENGAGE THE CIRCLE EXPERTS TO 

2017-03-12 10:19:11.537	HELP YOU DEFINE THAT PROJECT. 

2017-03-12 10:19:12.479	SIX, INCORPORATED CLINICAL

2017-03-12 10:19:16.487	PROJECTS AND GROUNDING IT. 

2017-03-12 10:19:18.492	WHERE WE GET INTO THIS FIELD

2017-03-12 10:19:22.496	WHERE IT DABBLES INTO HEALTH 

2017-03-12 10:19:22.497	CARE, BEING INFORMED BY WHAT 

2017-03-12 10:19:25.497	HEALTH CARE RESEARCH HAS 

2017-03-12 10:19:25.498	ACCOMPLISHED WILL HELP IN YOUR 

2017-03-12 10:19:27.513	RESEARCH OF THE PRODUCTION YOU 

2017-03-12 10:19:28.52	DO. 

2017-03-12 10:19:29.52	THIS IS A TWO-WAY STREET. 

2017-03-12 10:19:32.52	I CHANGED IT TO AN INTERSECTION. 

2017-03-12 10:19:35.52	WE ALL MEET TOGETHER. 

2017-03-12 10:19:36.521	IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE SEEK THE 

2017-03-12 10:19:41.565	VALUE OF WHAT YOU CAN BRING AND 

2017-03-12 10:19:41.566	GET RESPECT -- YET RESPECT THE 

2017-03-12 10:19:47.582	BOUNDARIES OF YOUR OWN TRAINING 

2017-03-12 10:19:51.611	AND SEEK OUT THE GAPS. 

2017-03-12 10:19:52.61	THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT 

2017-03-12 10:19:56.672	GOING TO HEAL THE WOUNDS OF THE 

2017-03-12 10:19:57.666	VETERAN POPULATION. 

2017-03-12 10:20:00.706	WE NEED TO DO IT TOGETHER. 

2017-03-12 10:20:00.707	WE NEED TO KNOW THE LANGUAGE AND 

2017-03-12 10:20:02.69	THE BOUNDARIES AND WORK

2017-03-12 10:20:18.818	[LAUGHTER] 

2017-03-12 10:20:24.816	>> ARTS PRESENTERS ROLL DEEP. 

2017-03-12 10:20:31.873	WE CAME UP WITH THREE SUSTAINED 

2017-03-12 10:20:37.917	STICKY POINTS. 

2017-03-12 10:20:39.914	THE FIRST BEING PUTTING THIS 

2017-03-12 10:20:41.914	WORK ON THE AGENDA ON A 

2017-03-12 10:20:43.927	CONSISTENT BASIS IN OUR REGIONAL 

2017-03-12 10:20:47.936	CENTER MEETINGS, SUCH AS MUP'S, 

2017-03-12 10:20:57.063	WHICH STANDS FOR MAJOR 

2017-03-12 10:20:57.064	UNIVERSITY CENTERS.

2017-03-12 10:21:07.094	SOFT AND HIGH VISIBILITY

2017-03-12 10:21:12.154	TOUCHES. 

2017-03-12 10:21:12.155	USING #ARTSANDMILITARY, SOME OF 

2017-03-12 10:21:18.17	US ACKNOWLEDGED YESTERDAY THAT 

2017-03-12 10:21:18.171	WE ARE SMALL-SCALE. 

2017-03-12 10:21:19.162	WE CAN SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT 

2017-03-12 10:21:22.188	OF WORK THAT YOU MAY NOT SEE. 

2017-03-12 10:21:25.194	IT MAY NEED A TWO-WEEK RESIDENCY 

2017-03-12 10:21:28.19	TO ADVANCE SOMETHING THAT IS AS 

2017-03-12 10:21:29.21	IMPORTANT AS THINGS THAT MAYBE 

2017-03-12 10:21:33.227	MORE HIGH VISIBILITY. 

2017-03-12 10:21:33.228	HOW DO WE TRACK THOSE THINGS? 

2017-03-12 10:21:38.256	EASY WAY, IS #ARTSANDMILITARY.

2017-03-12 10:21:42.271	WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT GROW 

2017-03-12 10:21:47.282	IN TERMS OF DATA CAPTURE. 

2017-03-12 10:21:48.274	ADVOCACY AND MEDICATION IN

2017-03-12 10:21:54.314	COMMUNITIES. 

2017-03-12 10:21:54.315	WE NOTE IS NOT A MONOLITH. 

2017-03-12 10:21:56.278	WE HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT 

2017-03-12 10:21:59.273	SEVERAL TIMES. 

2017-03-12 10:22:01.272	CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:22:04.314	THE COMMUNICATION SIDE? 

2017-03-12 10:22:05.313	>> WE WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE

2017-03-12 10:41:29.766	AND DISABILITY. 

2017-03-12 10:41:29.767	WE DO THAT THROUGH PERFORMING

2017-03-12 10:41:36.795	AND ENGAGEMENT. 

2017-03-12 10:41:37.791	I THINK WE HAVE BECOME ONE OF 

2017-03-12 10:41:39.791	THE PRIMARY PROFESSIONAL 

2017-03-12 10:41:42.832	TRAINING GROUNDS FOR DISABLED

2017-03-12 10:42:09.92	MARC BREW IN JANUARY. 

2017-03-12 10:42:11.965	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 10:42:12.964	I THINK LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE I 

2017-03-12 10:42:15.967	HAVE BEEN VERY DISTURBED BY THE 

2017-03-12 10:42:19.966	WAR, ESPECIALLY THE NUMBER OF 

2017-03-12 10:42:23.014	VETERANS THAT ARE COMING BACK 

2017-03-12 10:42:23.015	WITH BOTH VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE 

2017-03-12 10:42:27.014	DISABILITIES. 

2017-03-12 10:42:27.015	I THINK LIKE A LOT OF ARTISTS WE 

2017-03-12 10:42:30.021	WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP. 

2017-03-12 10:42:36.019	IN 2013 -- NO, IT WAS EARLIER 

2017-03-12 10:42:41.044	THAT, 2011 OR 2012, WE WERE 

2017-03-12 10:42:47.171	APPROACHED BY A PALO ALTO 

2017-03-12 10:42:48.124	VETERANS HOSPITAL TO STUDY HOW 

2017-03-12 10:42:54.169	SOCIAL DANCE COULD IMPACT

2017-03-12 10:43:04.219	I WAS APPROACHED BY MAN WHO IS A 

2017-03-12 10:43:08.215	RETIRED LAWYER AND EX MILITARY. 

2017-03-12 10:43:11.247	I BELIEVE HE WAS AN OFFICER. 

2017-03-12 10:43:12.223	YES. 

2017-03-12 10:43:13.215	HE WANTED TO COMMISSION AXIS. 

2017-03-12 10:43:17.335	HE FLEW FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO, TO 

2017-03-12 10:43:20.49	DO WORK ABOUT VETERANS AND 

2017-03-12 10:43:23.334	SPECIFICALLY DISABLED VETERANS. 

2017-03-12 10:43:24.346	HE SOUGHT US OUT BECAUSE WE ARE 

2017-03-12 10:43:27.342	A COMPANY OF DANCERS WITH AND 

2017-03-12 10:43:29.34	WITHOUT DISABILITIES. 

2017-03-12 10:43:30.373	I WAS RATHER INTIMIDATED BY THE 

2017-03-12 10:43:33.354	IDEA OF DOING A PIECE ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:43:35.406	VETERANS. 

2017-03-12 10:43:36.377	I SAID IF I WAS GOING TO DO IT, 

2017-03-12 10:43:40.48	I SAID I WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH 

2017-03-12 10:43:40.481	JOE. 

2017-03-12 10:43:42.472	WHEN I CONTACTED JOE IN 2013, IT 

2017-03-12 10:43:46.467	WAS IN THE FALL, AND 

2017-03-12 10:43:49.553	SYNCHRONISTICLY HE HAD JUST 

2017-03-12 10:43:54.521	DONE HIS PROJECT IN KANSAS WITH 

2017-03-12 10:43:57.528	VETERANS. 

2017-03-12 10:43:57.529	I WAS REALLY RELIEVED BECAUSE I 

2017-03-12 10:44:00.515	WAS SO INTIMIDATED BY HOW WE 

2017-03-12 10:44:03.518	WERE GOING TO DO THIS PIECE AND

2017-03-12 10:44:06.543	RESPECTFULLY. 

2017-03-12 10:44:10.543	I WAS SO GLAD TO KNOW THAT JOE 

2017-03-12 10:44:11.564	KIND OF ALREADY KNOW WHAT HE WAS

2017-03-12 10:44:18.546	SEEN IN 20 CITIES NOW. 

2017-03-12 10:44:21.588	I'M HOPING IT REMAINS IN THE 

2017-03-12 10:44:24.591	REPERTOIRE. 

2017-03-12 10:44:27.631	THAT WILL BE UP TO MARC. 

2017-03-12 10:44:31.626	IN CONJUNCTION WITH PERFORMING

2017-03-12 10:44:47.716	THOSE CLOSED WORKSHOPS SO WE 

2017-03-12 10:44:49.731	COULD CREATE A SAFE CONTAINER 

2017-03-12 10:44:50.719	FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

2017-03-12 10:45:00.811	YOU WILL MEET AT THE END, I 

2017-03-12 10:45:01.796	THINK THEY WILL TELL YOU IT IS 

2017-03-12 10:45:03.845	ONE OF THEIR MOST IMPACTFUL

2017-03-12 10:45:07.877	EXPERIENCES DURING ENGAGEMENT 

2017-03-12 10:45:07.878	WORK.

2017-03-12 10:45:26.96	IN KANSAS, AND I HAD DONE WORK 

2017-03-12 10:45:30.878	THERE. 

2017-03-12 10:45:32.931	I WAS JUST BEGINNING TO 

2017-03-12 10:45:35.969	UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A 

2017-03-12 10:45:38.003	CONVERSATION I COULD HAVE WITH 

2017-03-12 10:45:38.968	VETERANS. 

2017-03-12 10:45:39.971	A GAY BUDDHIST CHOREOGRAPHER 

2017-03-12 10:45:46.016	FROM SAN FRANCISCO. JUDITH:

2017-03-12 10:45:50.017	LESBIAN ATHEIST. 

2017-03-12 10:45:51.016	JOE: I ALWAYS OPEN WITH THAT. 

2017-03-12 10:45:56.085	IT BONDS US. 

2017-03-12 10:45:58.092	IT HAS BEEN A JOURNEY FOR ME TO 

2017-03-12 10:46:02.094	UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT 

2017-03-12 10:46:02.095	CONVERSATION WAS, AND RESILIENCE 

2017-03-12 10:46:04.094	PROJECT I HAVE REALLY APPROACHED 

2017-03-12 10:46:08.09	THE VETERANS AS TEACHERS ABOUT 

2017-03-12 10:46:11.097	THIS THING CALLED RESILIENCE. 

2017-03-12 10:46:13.088	I DON'T YET FEEL EMPOWERED TO 

2017-03-12 10:46:19.129	APPROACH THEM AS SOMEONE WHO CAN 

2017-03-12 10:46:22.129	HEAL THEIR TRAUMA OR EVEN FULLY 

2017-03-12 10:46:26.133	UNDERSTAND IT, BUT TO APPROACH 

2017-03-12 10:46:31.128	THEM AS TEACHERS AND ASK THEM 

2017-03-12 10:46:32.128	FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND THESE 

2017-03-12 10:46:35.179	ORAL HISTORIES, CONVERSATIONS 

2017-03-12 10:46:38.226	WITH FOOD, AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED, 

2017-03-12 10:46:44.271	HAVE REALLY BEEN AMAZING FOR ME, 

2017-03-12 10:46:46.268	AND I HAVE LEARNED A LOT AND 

2017-03-12 10:46:46.269	FELT GIFTED. 

2017-03-12 10:46:48.271	TO GO AGAIN IS BASED ON 

2017-03-12 10:46:52.268	CONVERSATIONS WE DID AT THE VA 

2017-03-12 10:46:52.269	HOSPITAL IN LIVERMORE AND AROUND 

2017-03-12 10:46:56.269	THE COUNTRY. 

2017-03-12 10:46:57.269	ONE OF THE DANCERS IS A VETERAN. 

2017-03-12 10:46:59.284	WE USED SOME OF HIS PERSONAL 

2017-03-12 10:47:02.337	CONTACTS TO DO SOME OF THE 

2017-03-12 10:47:06.381	INTERVIEWS. 

2017-03-12 10:47:08.34	IT WAS BRILLIANT FOR ME TO WORK 

2017-03-12 10:47:11.336	WITH A MIXED ABILITY COMPANY ON 

2017-03-12 10:47:15.355	THIS WORK BECAUSE THERE IS -- 

2017-03-12 10:47:18.391	THERE ARE SOME PARALLELS. 

2017-03-12 10:47:20.378	THERE IS SOME STIGMA THAT IS 

2017-03-12 10:47:22.378	PARALLEL TO WHAT THE MILITARY 

2017-03-12 10:47:27.422	PEOPLE FEEL SOMETIMES, AND 

2017-03-12 10:47:32.421	CERTAINLY BEING DISABLED YOU 

2017-03-12 10:47:35.443	KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT BEING 

2017-03-12 10:47:35.444	RESILIENT. 

2017-03-12 10:47:35.445	THERE WAS THAT INTUITIVE 

2017-03-12 10:47:38.424	CONNECTION. 

2017-03-12 10:47:44.421	BEFORE WE BEGIN, I'M GOING TO GO 

2017-03-12 10:47:47.466	THROUGH A LITTLE EXERCISE WITH

2017-03-12 10:48:00.545	PRACTICES. 

2017-03-12 10:48:01.536	THAT IS MY TERRITORY. 

2017-03-12 10:48:02.518	IF YOU WILL INDULGE ME, I HAVE 

2017-03-12 10:48:05.518	DONE THIS WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT

2017-03-12 10:48:12.549	AND THEIR FAMILIES.

2017-03-12 10:48:38.628	THE STEPS.

2017-03-12 10:48:52.674	BREATHS. 

2017-03-12 10:48:53.725	NOT THEATRICAL BREATHS, BUT 

2017-03-12 10:48:57.802	LISTENING BREATHS. 

2017-03-12 10:48:58.719	LISTENING TO YOUR OWN BREATH, 

2017-03-12 10:49:02.727	FEELING IT. 

2017-03-12 10:49:02.728	THEN WE ARE JUST GOING TO RUB 

2017-03-12 10:49:05.803	THOSE HANDS ON THE THIGHS AND 

2017-03-12 10:49:09.803	CREATE A LITTLE HEAT. 

2017-03-12 10:49:12.847	THIS IS A PART OF BRINGING 

2017-03-12 10:49:13.859	ENERGY AND VITALITY INTO THE 

2017-03-12 10:49:15.923	BODY, BRINGING A LITTLE BELIEVE

2017-03-12 10:49:35.032	I LIKE TO HANG THEM HERE LIKE 

2017-03-12 10:49:38.092	GRANDMA. 

2017-03-12 10:49:38.093	GRANDMA USED TO HAVE TWO OR 

2017-03-12 10:49:41.092	THREE PAIRS.

2017-03-12 10:49:51.097	TAKE THE HEEL OF THE HAND AND 

2017-03-12 10:49:55.094	PLACE THEM OVER THE EYES. 

2017-03-12 10:49:56.091	WE'RE JUST GOING TO THINK OF 

2017-03-12 10:50:00.19	BURNING OUT ALL OF THE 

2017-03-12 10:50:02.181	REPETITIVE THINKING, THE TAPE 

2017-03-12 10:50:05.172	LOOP OF WHO YOU ARE, WHO YOU 

2017-03-12 10:50:08.174	AREN'T, WHAT YOU NEED, WHAT YOU 

2017-03-12 10:50:11.172	LIKE, WHAT YOU WANT. 

2017-03-12 10:50:13.173	LET IT ALL GO FOR A SECOND. 

2017-03-12 10:50:16.211	BURN IT OUT. 

2017-03-12 10:50:17.173	CREATE AN EMPTY SPACE. 

2017-03-12 10:50:19.175	THEN WE WILL JUST OPEN THE

2017-03-12 10:50:24.231	GATES. 

2017-03-12 10:50:24.232	I WOULD LEAVE MY EYES CLOSED. 

2017-03-12 10:50:26.22	YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT ME AND 

2017-03-12 10:50:29.222	SEE WHAT I'M DOING. 

2017-03-12 10:50:29.223	IMAGINE THAT FRESH NEW 

2017-03-12 10:50:32.267	PERSPECTIVE CAN COME IN. 

2017-03-12 10:50:33.271	THAT IS PART OF BEING RESILIENT. 

2017-03-12 10:50:35.283	YOU CAN KEEP PLAYING THE TAPE OF 

2017-03-12 10:50:39.271	YOUR HARDSHIP, OR YOU CAN LET 

2017-03-12 10:50:43.311	SOME GENTLE NEW PERSPECTIVE 

2017-03-12 10:50:47.277	FLOAT IN. 

2017-03-12 10:50:50.301	THE FINAL STEP IS JUST TO SEND 

2017-03-12 10:50:51.314	THAT OUT. 

2017-03-12 10:50:54.306	EVERY BEDROOM THAT I HAVE SPOKEN 

2017-03-12 10:50:57.342	TO SEND THEIR REAL HEALING --

2017-03-12 11:00:44.184	>> I have a sister in Canada. 

2017-03-12 11:00:47.185	And they were both saying there 

2017-03-12 11:00:51.186	was something wrong with the 

2017-03-12 11:00:52.185	place she was staying because 

2017-03-12 11:00:55.185	she was just not getting any 

2017-03-12 11:00:55.186	better. 

2017-03-12 11:00:56.185	We hired some healers. 

2017-03-12 11:00:58.186	Psychic healers. 

2017-03-12 11:01:00.185	To clear the energy of the 

2017-03-12 11:01:02.202	space. 

2017-03-12 11:01:02.203	Psychic, yes. 

2017-03-12 11:01:05.203	One of them said if she is 

2017-03-12 11:01:09.202	screaming so much it means that 

2017-03-12 11:01:11.205	she is still in the accident. 

2017-03-12 11:01:11.206	She hasn't come out of the 

2017-03-12 11:01:14.229	accident yet. 

2017-03-12 11:01:14.229	You need to have someone to tell 

2017-03-12 11:01:18.268	her she's not in the accident 

2017-03-12 11:01:18.269	anymore. 

2017-03-12 11:01:19.268	She is safe. 

2017-03-12 11:01:20.267	I had no one to tell her because 

2017-03-12 11:01:31.268	people don't believe in that 

2017-03-12 11:01:31.269	kind of stuff. 

2017-03-12 11:01:31.27	So I was calling her twice a

2017-03-12 11:01:36.268	day. 

2017-03-12 11:01:36.269	And I remember it was the third 

2017-03-12 11:01:39.269	of July 2005. 

2017-03-12 11:01:40.269	And I was telling her on the 

2017-03-12 11:01:42.269	phone, listen. 

2017-03-12 11:01:44.27	You are not in the accident 

2017-03-12 11:01:46.273	anymore. 

2017-03-12 11:01:46.274	Your safe. 

2017-03-12 11:01:48.312	-- you are safe. 

2017-03-12 11:01:50.402	Nobody is going to hurt you. 

2017-03-12 11:01:52.401	You are back in the United 

2017-03-12 11:01:53.451	States. 

2017-03-12 11:01:54.451	And you are OK. 

2017-03-12 11:01:56.451	I said that six times. 

2017-03-12 11:02:02.452	And she stopped the screening. 

2017-03-12 11:02:05.452	-- screaming. 

2017-03-12 11:02:07.453	And she said, OK. 

2017-03-12 11:03:53.983	>> It's like nothing you can 

2017-03-12 11:03:53.984	expect. 

2017-03-12 11:03:54.984	It's like nothing you can really 

2017-03-12 11:03:59.066	explain. 

2017-03-12 11:04:00.066	Eight years out, we're much 

2017-03-12 11:04:04.069	better at not crying when we 

2017-03-12 11:04:06.11	talk about it.

2017-03-12 11:04:25.11	>> They don't know.

2017-03-12 11:04:42.155	? 

2017-03-12 11:04:43.154	What happens if a track breaks? 

2017-03-12 11:04:44.154	>> Those tracks are seven tons 

2017-03-12 11:04:47.203	apiece.

2017-03-12 11:04:49.202	hand. 

2017-03-12 11:04:50.204	>> You do that while you are

2017-03-12 11:04:52.205	>> You put them back together by 

2017-03-12 11:04:54.203	hand. 

2017-03-12 11:04:55.203	>> And if something goes wrong 

2017-03-12 11:04:57.203	with him? 

2017-03-12 11:04:59.204	>> You would see me.

2017-03-12 11:05:19.236	tons.

2017-03-12 11:05:39.278	We talked to them. 

2017-03-12 11:05:40.28	We lived in them. 

2017-03-12 11:05:42.287	Got tired of them. 

2017-03-12 11:05:43.279	And when we got away from them. 

2017-03-12 11:05:45.28	>> We wanted to come back to 

2017-03-12 11:05:48.322	them.

2017-03-12 11:06:25.406	We knew that change was coming. 

2017-03-12 11:06:28.405	We knew the war was coming. 

2017-03-12 11:06:30.407	We knew all the changes meant

2017-03-12 11:06:34.406	something big was coming. 

2017-03-12 11:06:35.406	My staff sergeant approached me. 

2017-03-12 11:06:35.407	He said I need you and my heart 

2017-03-12 11:06:39.404	was filled with dread. 

2017-03-12 11:06:39.405	He said it's time to go, get 

2017-03-12 11:06:42.406	your gear and find your stuff. 

2017-03-12 11:06:44.408	You only have three hours and 

2017-03-12 11:06:47.457	that has to be enough. 

2017-03-12 11:06:47.458	That's all that I was given. 

2017-03-12 11:06:48.455	Just three hours, say goodbye. 

2017-03-12 11:06:51.504	I was in my camouflage and I got 

2017-03-12 11:07:00.532	to the front door of my little 

2017-03-12 11:07:00.533	duplex right outside the gate. 

2017-03-12 11:07:02.532	I opened my front door. 

2017-03-12 11:07:06.533	My wife came up and hugged me. 

2017-03-12 11:07:06.534	She always did. 

2017-03-12 11:07:10.531	The moment we embraced each 

2017-03-12 11:07:11.533	other she pulled back and said 

2017-03-12 11:07:11.534	what's wrong? 

2017-03-12 11:07:12.531	I said Melissa I got the call. 

2017-03-12 11:07:16.533	I have three hours. 

2017-03-12 11:07:20.533	And she fell to pieces. 

2017-03-12 11:07:28.532	>> I got a little story for you. 

2017-03-12 11:11:24.458	And it goes like this. 

2017-03-12 11:11:28.461	When I was 18 I used to look in 

2017-03-12 11:11:38.458	people's windows and if they 

2017-03-12 11:11:40.458	weren't home I would steal their 

2017-03-12 11:11:45.459	stuff. 

2017-03-12 11:11:46.459	Yeah. 

2017-03-12 11:11:48.459	But that's what happens when you 

2017-03-12 11:11:56.508	grow up in chaos. 

2017-03-12 11:11:56.509	Sad story, right? 

2017-03-12 11:12:00.507	I can tell you're looking for a 

2017-03-12 11:12:08.557	little more. 

2017-03-12 11:12:08.558	OK. 

2017-03-12 11:12:11.558	I wasn't a bad kid. 

2017-03-12 11:12:13.559	Just a little bit wild. 

2017-03-12 11:12:17.558	Yeah. 

2017-03-12 11:12:22.585	Just a little wild. 

2017-03-12 11:12:28.586	And so I found myself in front 

2017-03-12 11:12:32.627	of a judge. 

2017-03-12 11:12:32.628	And I had to make a choice. 

2017-03-12 11:12:34.67	Jail or boot camp. 

2017-03-12 11:12:39.807	The choice was clear. 

2017-03-12 11:12:42.809	You got it. 

2017-03-12 11:12:46.809	From there it was early morning 

2017-03-12 11:12:51.81	push-ups, long days on an 

2017-03-12 11:12:54.878	aircraft carrier and Desert 

2017-03-12 11:12:56.879	Storm. 

2017-03-12 11:12:56.88	Discipline baby. 

2017-03-12 11:13:00.879	Becoming a man. 

2017-03-12 11:13:01.88	Yeah. 

2017-03-12 11:13:03.878	Becoming a Marine was a very 

2017-03-12 11:13:08.88	serious instant in my life. 

2017-03-12 11:13:10.92	In order to find myself I had to 

2017-03-12 11:13:14.92	lose myself. 

2017-03-12 11:13:14.921	Lose myself. 

2017-03-12 11:13:21.92	Completely. 

2017-03-12 11:13:22.92	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:13:31.963	>> He was called up in 2004 to 

2017-03-12 11:13:56.171	active duty and in 2006 he left 

2017-03-12 11:13:59.171	in September for Afghanistan. 

2017-03-12 11:14:01.172	And he was actually there for 10 

2017-03-12 11:14:05.172	days when I got a funny message 

2017-03-12 11:14:08.173	from a Marine sergeant that 

2017-03-12 11:14:12.173	said, we are in the area and we 

2017-03-12 11:14:13.214	need to talk to you. 

2017-03-12 11:14:13.215	Having been a military daughter, 

2017-03-12 11:14:19.259	wife and now mother, I guess it 

2017-03-12 11:14:21.258	didn't click. 

2017-03-12 11:14:22.259	It was like OK well, I'm at the 

2017-03-12 11:14:27.308	hospital. 

2017-03-12 11:14:27.309	They said, we will be right 

2017-03-12 11:14:27.309	there. 

2017-03-12 11:14:27.31	When I saw them in their dress 

2017-03-12 11:14:33.31	blues, that was scary. 

2017-03-12 11:14:33.311	And they said, he's not dead. 

2017-03-12 11:14:37.308	>> Yes sir. 

2017-03-12 11:17:38.972	Actually he was on his second 

2017-03-12 11:17:41.972	deployment. 

2017-03-12 11:17:41.973	He got tapped for a last-minute 

2017-03-12 11:17:45.014	deployment two weeks after we 

2017-03-12 11:17:47.014	found out. 

2017-03-12 11:17:47.015	I was pregnant with twins. 

2017-03-12 11:17:50.013	And came back three days before 

2017-03-12 11:17:54.015	they were born. 

2017-03-12 11:17:54.016	Yeah. 

2017-03-12 11:17:56.059	Resilience is definitely 

2017-03-12 11:18:01.069	something that is needed in the 

2017-03-12 11:18:01.07	military. 

2017-03-12 11:18:01.071	100%. 

2017-03-12 11:18:04.061	Yeah. 

2017-03-12 11:18:07.061	I mean, I'm just -- you have to 

2017-03-12 11:18:12.109	be resilient. 

2017-03-12 11:18:14.108	You have to be strong. 

2017-03-12 11:18:16.11	You have to be willing to put up 

2017-03-12 11:18:20.11	with a lot of craft. 

2017-03-12 11:18:21.111	-- crap. 

2017-03-12 11:18:25.111	And you have to be willing to 

2017-03-12 11:18:28.111	fight for your marriage. 

2017-03-12 11:18:28.112	I can't think of a single couple

2017-03-12 11:18:34.181	that we know from when we first 

2017-03-12 11:18:35.182	got married that is still 

2017-03-12 11:18:37.182	together. 

2017-03-12 11:18:37.183	It's hard. 

2017-03-12 11:18:37.184	Military life is hard. 

2017-03-12 11:18:37.184	It's hard on everybody and a lot 

2017-03-12 11:18:39.182	of people just don't make it. 

2017-03-12 11:18:40.182	>> It's like nothing you can 

2017-03-12 11:19:44.562	expect. 

2017-03-12 11:19:45.562	It's like nothing you can 

2017-03-12 11:19:50.562	explain. 

2017-03-12 11:19:50.563	It's empty, empty, but something 

2017-03-12 11:19:57.612	remains. 

2017-03-12 11:19:57.612	Close the drapes. 

2017-03-12 11:20:12.685	Shut the door. 

2017-03-12 11:20:14.727	Turned away from what I knew 

2017-03-12 11:20:19.727	before. 

2017-03-12 11:20:20.726	Folding in, falling out. 

2017-03-12 11:20:27.728	Waking up to this world of doubt 

2017-03-12 11:20:35.729	. 

2017-03-12 11:20:35.73	Waking up to this world of

2017-03-12 11:20:43.73	doubt. 

2017-03-12 11:20:43.731	It's like nothing you can 

2017-03-12 11:21:17.863	expect. 

2017-03-12 11:21:17.864	It's like nothing you can 

2017-03-12 11:21:22.862	explain. 

2017-03-12 11:21:23.912	It's empty, empty, but something 

2017-03-12 11:21:30.911	remains. 

2017-03-12 11:21:31.913	>> He was called up in 2004 to 

2017-03-12 11:23:39.486	active duty. 

2017-03-12 11:23:39.487	And in 2006 he left. 

2017-03-12 11:23:42.526	In September for Afghanistan. 

2017-03-12 11:23:46.531	And he was actually there for 10 

2017-03-12 11:23:49.527	days. 

2017-03-12 11:23:50.528	When I got a funny message that 

2017-03-12 11:23:52.526	said, he's not dead. 

2017-03-12 11:23:56.528	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:24:06.529	>> Do we still have time? 

2017-03-12 11:24:43.695	Do I have a timekeeper out

2017-03-12 11:24:46.696	there? 

2017-03-12 11:24:46.696	>> 10 minutes. 

2017-03-12 11:24:47.696	>> 10 minutes, OK. 

2017-03-12 11:24:51.738	What I normally do with the 

2017-03-12 11:24:54.738	resilience project is kind of go 

2017-03-12 11:24:57.737	back to this body practice. 

2017-03-12 11:24:59.737	Before we get into our 

2017-03-12 11:25:02.738	analytical thinking and are 

2017-03-12 11:25:05.738	descriptive responses. 

2017-03-12 11:25:05.739	Just sort of close your eyes and 

2017-03-12 11:25:09.739	again feel your breath down into 

2017-03-12 11:25:14.749	the bottoms of your feet. 

2017-03-12 11:25:14.749	Notice if your body is having a 

2017-03-12 11:25:19.738	response. 

2017-03-12 11:25:19.739	And just take that in. 

2017-03-12 11:25:25.865	Acknowledge it. 

2017-03-12 11:25:27.913	It's important. 

2017-03-12 11:25:27.914	It's what really matters. 

2017-03-12 11:25:29.916	And then open your eyes. 

2017-03-12 11:25:34.915	Do you have any questions? 

2017-03-12 11:25:35.92	What a great job you guys did. 

2017-03-12 11:25:39.914	Wow. 

2017-03-12 11:25:39.915	Amazing. 

2017-03-12 11:25:40.915	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:25:41.948	>> I also want to say that the 

2017-03-12 11:25:51.032	music was composed by -- and his 

2017-03-12 11:25:56.06	mother. 

2017-03-12 11:25:56.061	Actually also is connected. 

2017-03-12 11:25:59.073	She works at a VA Hospital in 

2017-03-12 11:26:02.116	California. 

2017-03-12 11:26:02.117	>> Hi everybody. 

2017-03-12 11:26:05.116	My name is James Bowen. 

2017-03-12 11:26:07.113	Originally from Dallas, Texas. 

2017-03-12 11:26:10.115	Went to Kansas State University. 

2017-03-12 11:26:12.12	Joined AXIS Dance Company August 

2017-03-12 11:26:16.114	of 2016. 

2017-03-12 11:26:19.121	I'm excited to be here, 

2017-03-12 11:26:19.121	everyone. 

2017-03-12 11:26:19.122	>> My name is Duane Sugarman. 

2017-03-12 11:26:25.117	I moved to Oakland two years ago 

2017-03-12 11:26:28.119	to join access. 

2017-03-12 11:26:31.165	I moved from Tampa, Florida. 

2017-03-12 11:26:32.165	>> My name is Julie Carruthers. 

2017-03-12 11:26:36.164	I studied dance in North 

2017-03-12 11:26:39.214	Carolina and moved to Oakland to 

2017-03-12 11:26:44.216	join access in July 2014. 

2017-03-12 11:26:45.216	>> My name is live Shafer. 

2017-03-12 11:26:49.218	I'm from Chicago and I studied 

2017-03-12 11:26:55.216	dance in the Bay Area and joint 

2017-03-12 11:26:55.217	access in August 2016. 

2017-03-12 11:26:56.243	>> We have two other dancers and 

2017-03-12 11:27:02.243	an apprentice also with us. 

2017-03-12 11:27:02.244	You will be able to see them if 

2017-03-12 11:27:06.285	you come to the Boston 

2017-03-12 11:27:06.285	University residency. 

2017-03-12 11:27:07.291	Mark is our incoming artistic 

2017-03-12 11:27:10.415	director. 

2017-03-12 11:27:10.416	That's a bad word to use. 

2017-03-12 11:27:11.415	Use our new artistic director. 

2017-03-12 11:27:14.463	-- he is our new artistic 

2017-03-12 11:27:20.466	director. 

2017-03-12 11:27:20.467	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:27:21.466	>> Anyone have a comment 

2017-03-12 11:27:25.465	question or a feeling you want 

2017-03-12 11:27:28.467	to express? 

2017-03-12 11:27:29.466	Carla? 

2017-03-12 11:27:30.493	[INAUDIBLE] 

2017-03-12 11:27:40.536	>> OK. 

2017-03-12 11:27:48.619	People heard that, right? 

2017-03-12 11:27:51.618	I just want to say I am almost

2017-03-12 11:27:57.619	moved to tears. 

2017-03-12 11:27:57.62	I'm so very moved and that's 

2017-03-12 11:27:59.62	what I want to share with you. 

2017-03-12 11:27:59.62	Thank you so much. 

2017-03-12 11:28:01.619	>> Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:28:03.619	Someone -- is that Anthony? 

2017-03-12 11:28:09.62	Who is that? 

2017-03-12 11:28:10.62	>> Thank you so much for that 

2017-03-12 11:28:19.667	performance. 

2017-03-12 11:28:19.668	That was absolutely amazing. 

2017-03-12 11:28:21.672	I wanted to ask about the music, 

2017-03-12 11:28:26.715	the mood. 

2017-03-12 11:28:27.716	I was trying to put words to and 

2017-03-12 11:28:31.719	what I came up with was 

2017-03-12 11:28:31.72	beautifully haunting. 

2017-03-12 11:28:32.715	I would like to hear from you 

2017-03-12 11:28:34.716	guys about the music. 

2017-03-12 11:28:36.714	IQ -- thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:28:39.716	>> I can talk about how the 

2017-03-12 11:28:42.748	music came about. 

2017-03-12 11:28:43.746	Then is somebody I work with a 

2017-03-12 11:28:45.747	lot of in my work and he likes 

2017-03-12 11:28:48.747	to be in the process, in the 

2017-03-12 11:28:51.747	rehearsal studio, feeling the 

2017-03-12 11:28:54.788	temperature of what is happening 

2017-03-12 11:28:57.789	in various sections. 

2017-03-12 11:28:58.79	I also am always about colliding 

2017-03-12 11:29:02.791	language and movement. 

2017-03-12 11:29:02.791	And seeing how they can --

2017-03-12 11:29:11.83	complement each other but also 

2017-03-12 11:29:14.831	maybe contradict each other. 

2017-03-12 11:29:14.832	Create a little friction or 

2017-03-12 11:29:17.874	dislodge you from the 

2017-03-12 11:29:20.889	perspective that you think you 

2017-03-12 11:29:20.89	have on the language. 

2017-03-12 11:29:21.875	That the movement can actually 

2017-03-12 11:29:24.891	shift you into some new 

2017-03-12 11:29:24.892	perspective. 

2017-03-12 11:29:25.917	I like that andben is very 

2017-03-12 11:29:33.968	sensitive to that and that's not 

2017-03-12 11:29:33.968	an easy collaborative moment

2017-03-12 11:29:36.966	when you tell a musician, maybe 

2017-03-12 11:29:38.966	not so loud or not so much music 

2017-03-12 11:29:41.967	in this moment? 

2017-03-12 11:29:41.968	Because they've got to talk. 

2017-03-12 11:29:43.966	And he's really great with that. 

2017-03-12 11:29:46.998	Do you guys want to talk about 

2017-03-12 11:29:48.998	how it feels? 

2017-03-12 11:29:50	>> I'm thinking about how it 

2017-03-12 11:30:02.083	feels. 

2017-03-12 11:30:03.081	I don't know. 

2017-03-12 11:30:05.081	Joe said everything. 

2017-03-12 11:30:08.098	It was just interesting being in 

2017-03-12 11:30:08.099	there. 

2017-03-12 11:30:08.1	Ben was totally immersed in the 

2017-03-12 11:30:12.082	process and checking in and 

2017-03-12 11:30:15.082	making little tweaks as we went 

2017-03-12 11:30:15.083	along. 

2017-03-12 11:30:16.082	It was my first time having a 

2017-03-12 11:30:18.082	musician in the studio. 

2017-03-12 11:30:20.124	That's not really true, but the 

2017-03-12 11:30:22.126	first time to that extent. 

2017-03-12 11:30:26.125	I don't know what else to say. 

2017-03-12 11:30:26.126	It was pretty cool to see them 

2017-03-12 11:30:29.169	work together and make those 

2017-03-12 11:30:29.169	adjustments. 

2017-03-12 11:30:29.17	>> Julian and Duane are two of 

2017-03-12 11:30:34.168	the dancers that were in the 

2017-03-12 11:30:34.169	original process with Joe. 

2017-03-12 11:30:36.216	Luv and -- liv and James came in 

2017-03-12 11:30:44.267	and took on roles. 

2017-03-12 11:30:46.268	>> Those two. 

2017-03-12 11:30:52.294	And Duane helped me with some of 

2017-03-12 11:30:55.293	the oral histories. 

2017-03-12 11:30:56.292	>> I would like to ask each of 

2017-03-12 11:31:05.334	the dancers to talk a little bit 

2017-03-12 11:31:06.337	more about the oral histories 

2017-03-12 11:31:07.335	and how you embodied them. 

2017-03-12 11:31:07.336	Being a dancer I'm always 

2017-03-12 11:31:10.419	thrilled that dancers can talk 

2017-03-12 11:31:12.466	and move at the same time. 

2017-03-12 11:31:13.466	>> Yes, we can. 

2017-03-12 11:31:20.516	I'm also a fan of dancers who 

2017-03-12 11:31:23.516	can talk. 

2017-03-12 11:31:24.518	I did my best to relate to my 

2017-03-12 11:31:29.516	own personal history. 

2017-03-12 11:31:29.517	I feel that there are moments 

2017-03-12 11:31:33.518	when I am the character that I 

2017-03-12 11:31:34.518	spoke with my monologue but also 

2017-03-12 11:31:38.547	the character that James spoke 

2017-03-12 11:31:38.547	of when I was Melissa with 

2017-03-12 11:31:39.585	Duane. 

2017-03-12 11:31:39.586	I drew from my own experiences 

2017-03-12 11:31:44.669	having a loved one being far 

2017-03-12 11:31:46.669	away. 

2017-03-12 11:31:46.67	Not being able to get in touch 

2017-03-12 11:31:46.67	with them. 

2017-03-12 11:31:46.671	Ultimately just had to take a 

2017-03-12 11:31:52.669	different perspective every time 

2017-03-12 11:31:52.67	I tried it even from our run 

2017-03-12 11:31:56.67	earlier this morning to today. 

2017-03-12 11:31:56.671	Playing with different cadences 

2017-03-12 11:31:58.671	of speaking and different 

2017-03-12 11:32:04.672	cadences in my movement. 

2017-03-12 11:32:04.672	If I keep it alive in that way I 

2017-03-12 11:32:06.671	can keep the character alive for 

2017-03-12 11:32:07.67	myself. 

2017-03-12 11:32:07.671	>> When we were doing interviews 

2017-03-12 11:32:17.723	with the people Joe was pretty 

2017-03-12 11:32:18.716	clear, it was Joe and a 

2017-03-12 11:32:24.718	rehearsal assistant and one of 

2017-03-12 11:32:24.719	the dancers. 

2017-03-12 11:32:25.716	Any text that we said was not 

2017-03-12 11:32:28.768	the text that we heard. 

2017-03-12 11:32:29.766	I wasn't able to even try and 

2017-03-12 11:32:33.767	say it like it was said. 

2017-03-12 11:32:33.768	I really got to take it on as my 

2017-03-12 11:32:36.768	own. 

2017-03-12 11:32:36.768	Recognizing it as not just a 

2017-03-12 11:32:41.768	singular story relevant to one 

2017-03-12 11:32:41.769	person but the grander scope and 

2017-03-12 11:32:44.768	human experience. 

2017-03-12 11:32:44.768	When I'm delivering my lines I 

2017-03-12 11:32:50.798	like to pretend that there is 

2017-03-12 11:32:51.798	one specific person that I'm 

2017-03-12 11:32:51.798	speaking to over there. 

2017-03-12 11:32:52.797	That kind of helps me keep it 

2017-03-12 11:32:55.839	alive. 

2017-03-12 11:32:56.837	>> Julie said it all. 

2017-03-12 11:33:04.839	We weren't in the interviews for 

2017-03-12 11:33:08.839	the parts that we spoke. 

2017-03-12 11:33:08.84	We were in other interviews. 

2017-03-12 11:33:11.838	I know for me I feel a lot of -- 

2017-03-12 11:33:17.84	I really want to get it right. 

2017-03-12 11:33:18.841	I don't need to get at the same 

2017-03-12 11:33:18.842	all the time but I want to get 

2017-03-12 11:33:22.84	it right. 

2017-03-12 11:33:22.841	I was in an interview with a 

2017-03-12 11:33:22.842	woman who was injured in Iraq. 

2017-03-12 11:33:23.84	Seeing her and her mother, being 

2017-03-12 11:33:30.882	there when they told their 

2017-03-12 11:33:31.922	stories and realizing that all 

2017-03-12 11:33:33.924	of these other interviews 

2017-03-12 11:33:33.925	probably had the same

2017-03-12 11:33:34.922	experience. 

2017-03-12 11:33:34.923	I really wanted to make sure 

2017-03-12 11:33:36.925	that their stories came across 

2017-03-12 11:33:41.925	in the way they wanted them to 

2017-03-12 11:33:43.923	while also keeping it equivalent

2017-03-12 11:33:49.925	to the grander human experience. 

2017-03-12 11:33:51.924	>> I wasn't part of the process

2017-03-12 11:34:03.968	of being able to interview. 

2017-03-12 11:34:03.969	The veterans. 

2017-03-12 11:34:06.018	Coming in as a new company 

2017-03-12 11:34:09.018	dancer, it was difficult at 

2017-03-12 11:34:12.019	first because I was trying to 

2017-03-12 11:34:13.05	act like this person. 

2017-03-12 11:34:16.054	I'm going to say his name is 

2017-03-12 11:34:21.052	John. 

2017-03-12 11:34:21.052	I don't know his name. 

2017-03-12 11:34:21.053	I was trying to act like John. 

2017-03-12 11:34:22.05	Then I started to play around 

2017-03-12 11:34:26.052	with the idea of, be James 

2017-03-12 11:34:28.051	telling the story. 

2017-03-12 11:34:28.051	My name is James by the way. 

2017-03-12 11:34:29.051	Just be James. 

2017-03-12 11:34:32.051	I am a married man. 

2017-03-12 11:34:32.051	I was putting myself in that 

2017-03-12 11:34:36.051	situation telling my husband 

2017-03-12 11:34:36.052	that I have to go back overseas 

2017-03-12 11:34:39.093	and I don't know if I'm going to 

2017-03-12 11:34:39.093	come back the same. 

2017-03-12 11:34:40.092	That's the process was for me. 

2017-03-12 11:34:43.092	>> I will say that the woman who 

2017-03-12 11:34:50.093	Duane spoke about who had the 

2017-03-12 11:34:52.093	traumatic brain injury, she and 

2017-03-12 11:34:56.092	her mother and her therapist 

2017-03-12 11:34:57.093	actually came to the showing of 

2017-03-12 11:34:58.093	the peace, the preview that we 

2017-03-12 11:35:00.093	did of the peace. 

2017-03-12 11:35:02.094	This piece is really emotional 

2017-03-12 11:35:05.136	for me still. 

2017-03-12 11:35:06.135	And to see them after the 

2017-03-12 11:35:09.136	performance and how gratified 

2017-03-12 11:35:13.178	they all felt that their story 

2017-03-12 11:35:16.218	had been revealed that way I 

2017-03-12 11:35:19.219	think was for me one of the 

2017-03-12 11:35:19.22	highlights of actually putting 

2017-03-12 11:35:23.27	this project together. 

2017-03-12 11:35:24.269	>> Don't make us cry. 

2017-03-12 11:35:27.269	>> I cry at commercials. 

2017-03-12 11:35:31.27	[LAUGHTER] 

2017-03-12 11:35:32.268	>> I have a feeling we might be 

2017-03-12 11:35:38.319	running out of time. 

2017-03-12 11:35:39.319	>> OK. 

2017-03-12 11:35:41.344	Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:35:42.344	I feel like you all really 

2017-03-12 11:35:45.346	unearthed so many incredibly 

2017-03-12 11:35:47.347	touching honest hard moments 

2017-03-12 11:35:51.386	both in the movement and the 

2017-03-12 11:35:52.386	text and the way it all came 

2017-03-12 11:35:52.387	together. 

2017-03-12 11:35:52.387	I know that on tour and this 

2017-03-12 11:35:57.388	piece has toured quite 

2017-03-12 11:35:57.388	extensively that you all did 

2017-03-12 11:36:02.387	interact with different veteran 

2017-03-12 11:36:03.388	communities and military 

2017-03-12 11:36:05.389	communities and groups while the 

2017-03-12 11:36:05.39	work was in different 

2017-03-12 11:36:05.39	communities and in addition to 

2017-03-12 11:36:07.388	what you've shared about the 

2017-03-12 11:36:11.389	creation of the work, is there 

2017-03-12 11:36:11.39	anything that stones -- stands 

2017-03-12 11:36:15.431	out to you all in your 

2017-03-12 11:36:15.432	experiences on tour that might 

2017-03-12 11:36:19.473	be really important for this 

2017-03-12 11:36:19.473	group to hear? 

2017-03-12 11:36:20.471	>> I remember one time when we 

2017-03-12 11:36:25.52	went to a veterans hospital and 

2017-03-12 11:36:26.52	did a workshop. 

2017-03-12 11:36:26.52	One of the veterans came up to 

2017-03-12 11:36:31.521	me because I did the scene 

2017-03-12 11:36:33.57	speaking the lines about the 

2017-03-12 11:36:35.57	tanks. 

2017-03-12 11:36:35.57	Exactly like Julie and I were 

2017-03-12 11:36:38.569	saying, we wanted to get these 

2017-03-12 11:36:41.569	stories right. 

2017-03-12 11:36:42.57	He came up to me and said, that 

2017-03-12 11:36:45.57	was my story. 

2017-03-12 11:36:45.571	He was like interiors and sort 

2017-03-12 11:36:48.597	of -- in tears and sort of 

2017-03-12 11:36:52.597	relieved. 

2017-03-12 11:36:52.598	That's everything he went 

2017-03-12 11:36:55.682	through. 

2017-03-12 11:36:55.682	And he felt so happy that we 

2017-03-12 11:36:59.681	were sharing that with 

2017-03-12 11:36:59.682	everybody. 

2017-03-12 11:36:59.683	That was -- going to be a 

2017-03-12 11:37:07.682	hospitals and having more of 

2017-03-12 11:37:07.683	those experiences was pretty 

2017-03-12 11:37:08.681	deep. 

2017-03-12 11:37:08.682	>> My favorite moment of the 

2017-03-12 11:37:14.683	workshops is often when we go 

2017-03-12 11:37:14.684	in. 

2017-03-12 11:37:14.684	We do a movement with the 

2017-03-12 11:37:16.682	veterans before the show. 

2017-03-12 11:37:17.688	They are often very reluctant. 

2017-03-12 11:37:21.683	We walk in in our matching axis 

2017-03-12 11:37:25.683	dance T-shirts and they are not 

2017-03-12 11:37:27.684	sure what they are in for. 

2017-03-12 11:37:29.684	We're like, everybody get up and 

2017-03-12 11:37:33.682	no one wants to get up. 

2017-03-12 11:37:34.683	Watching the transition to all 

2017-03-12 11:37:38.682	you have to do is follow what 

2017-03-12 11:37:38.683	I'm doing. 

2017-03-12 11:37:38.684	Giving them the space. 

2017-03-12 11:37:41.683	Now you create a movement. 

2017-03-12 11:37:43.684	Watching the creativity explode 

2017-03-12 11:37:47.683	sets the scene to be able to 

2017-03-12 11:37:50.684	digest this work that is so 

2017-03-12 11:37:50.685	heavy on all of our hearts. 

2017-03-12 11:37:52.684	>> I'm always pretty fascinated 

2017-03-12 11:37:58.683	as we go into each of the 

2017-03-12 11:37:58.683	workshops we may be sometimes 

2017-03-12 11:38:03.684	create a different order to 

2017-03-12 11:38:03.684	things. 

2017-03-12 11:38:03.685	Maybe there's a showing of the 

2017-03-12 11:38:06.725	work at the end which is usually 

2017-03-12 11:38:07.726	the case for us. 

2017-03-12 11:38:08.724	The difference between when you 

2017-03-12 11:38:11.725	show a work and then you danced 

2017-03-12 11:38:15.725	together versus when you dance 

2017-03-12 11:38:15.726	together and then you show a 

2017-03-12 11:38:15.726	work, I don't know that one is 

2017-03-12 11:38:19.727	better than the other but this 

2017-03-12 11:38:22.725	setting is one that is really

2017-03-12 11:38:27.725	draws out a lot of high contrast

2017-03-12 11:38:30.769	in terms of when you make that 

2017-03-12 11:38:31.772	connection with people one on 

2017-03-12 11:38:32.771	one maybe it's a little easier 

2017-03-12 11:38:35.82	after they've seen this 

2017-03-12 11:38:36.82	Diebold's and -- dipole -- 

2017-03-12 11:38:40.821	divulge and enter into their 

2017-03-12 11:38:50.82	world. 

2017-03-12 11:38:51.821	>> It is a cool experience to go 

2017-03-12 11:38:55.851	into a veteran workshop and get 

2017-03-12 11:38:56.852	them up to move. 

2017-03-12 11:38:57.851	Another cool thing for me is 

2017-03-12 11:39:05.852	that when they come up to us and 

2017-03-12 11:39:07.853	tell us how cool it is to be 

2017-03-12 11:39:08.852	able to share their story 

2017-03-12 11:39:09.894	through our movement and how 

2017-03-12 11:39:09.894	they can connect to our

2017-03-12 11:39:12.893	movement. 

2017-03-12 11:39:12.894	I think that's probably a 

2017-03-12 11:39:15.936	powerful thing for me going into 

2017-03-12 11:39:17.936	these workshops. 

2017-03-12 11:39:19.936	They are not dancers. 

2017-03-12 11:39:20.935	They can relate to this. 

2017-03-12 11:39:24.936	It's the bomb. 

2017-03-12 11:39:25.936	>> I just want to add one more 

2017-03-12 11:39:33.938	thing to that. 

2017-03-12 11:39:33.938	There was a family member in the 

2017-03-12 11:39:36.937	workshop on time. 

2017-03-12 11:39:38.938	They came up and really thanked 

2017-03-12 11:39:38.939	us. 

2017-03-12 11:39:40.936	Family serves as well and that 

2017-03-12 11:39:44.938	story doesn't always get told. 

2017-03-12 11:39:46.939	>> Thank you very much. 

2017-03-12 11:39:53.978	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:39:54.977	>> Grade. 

2017-03-12 11:40:04.978	We're going to do just a final 

2017-03-12 11:40:08.98	thing in this room. 

2017-03-12 11:40:08.981	-- great. 

2017-03-12 11:40:11.02	We are to do just a final thing 

2017-03-12 11:40:14.022	in this room. 

2017-03-12 11:40:15.021	We just really have a few 

2017-03-12 11:40:18.022	minutes. 

2017-03-12 11:40:18.023	Thank you so much. 

2017-03-12 11:40:19.022	All of the work was so beautiful 

2017-03-12 11:40:24.023	this entire time. 

2017-03-12 11:40:24.024	The conversation and the work 

2017-03-12 11:40:29.021	together. 

2017-03-12 11:40:29.022	We're going to do a final some 

2017-03-12 11:40:36.022	comments. 

2017-03-12 11:40:36.022	There's going to be a photograph 

2017-03-12 11:40:36.022	at the very end. 

2017-03-12 11:40:36.022	We're just going to take 10 

2017-03-12 11:40:39.022	minutes to just -- if there's 

2017-03-12 11:40:43.022	any final comments people want 

2017-03-12 11:40:46.072	to throw it into the room before 

2017-03-12 11:40:47.074	we finish, just come up and do 

2017-03-12 11:40:51.072	that here. 

2017-03-12 11:40:51.073	If there's any final thoughts, 

2017-03-12 11:40:55.121	takeaways. 

2017-03-12 11:40:56.121	Nothing? 

2017-03-12 11:40:59.122	Any final thoughts, takeaways. 

2017-03-12 11:41:02.122	I think somebody is going to 

2017-03-12 11:41:05.123	come up and say something. 

2017-03-12 11:41:05.124	>> Just an appreciation. 

2017-03-12 11:41:08.123	This week has been really 

2017-03-12 11:41:13.148	eye-opening for me. 

2017-03-12 11:41:13.149	I came here at invite of KJ 

2017-03-12 11:41:18.149	Sanchez because she couldn't be 

2017-03-12 11:41:19.149	here. 

2017-03-12 11:41:20.15	Although I had done some work 

2017-03-12 11:41:23.148	with veteran programs, I didn't 

2017-03-12 11:41:25.15	know the extent to which people 

2017-03-12 11:41:26.15	were really working on this. 

2017-03-12 11:41:28.15	This week has just been -- I 

2017-03-12 11:41:35.191	can't even begin to express how 

2017-03-12 11:41:35.192	full my heart is right now. 

2017-03-12 11:41:36.192	The work that is happening and 

2017-03-12 11:41:40.194	the love that is coming from 

2017-03-12 11:41:40.194	everyone and the conversations 

2017-03-12 11:41:46.193	that are happening and the 

2017-03-12 11:41:47.193	thought that's going into it. 

2017-03-12 11:41:48.192	From the bottom of my heart, 

2017-03-12 11:41:48.193	thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:41:48.194	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:41:50.192	>> I wanted to jump in. 

2017-03-12 11:41:56.192	Earlier I was speaking out from 

2017-03-12 11:42:03.234	a group and I felt like our 

2017-03-12 11:42:05.234	group had said so many brilliant 

2017-03-12 11:42:06.236	things that I didn't get to 

2017-03-12 11:42:06.236	represent. 

2017-03-12 11:42:07.276	Linda's comment about reciprocal 

2017-03-12 11:42:10.276	healing. 

2017-03-12 11:42:11.296	I saw that so much in the 

2017-03-12 11:42:17.322	performance just now. 

2017-03-12 11:42:18.335	I just want to underline it. 

2017-03-12 11:42:19.33	There's been a lot of 

2017-03-12 11:42:19.33	conversation about trauma and 

2017-03-12 11:42:20.322	healing. 

2017-03-12 11:42:21.322	Many of us have healing to do 

2017-03-12 11:42:24.375	and find that here and it's not 

2017-03-12 11:42:25.372	a one way transactional thing. 

2017-03-12 11:42:28.373	It's a part of the reciprocal 

2017-03-12 11:42:32.402	art making process. 

2017-03-12 11:42:34.46	This has been a really healing 

2017-03-12 11:42:36.486	and life-affirming thing for me. 

2017-03-12 11:42:39.485	So thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:42:40.526	>> We have a comment back here. 

2017-03-12 11:42:44.574	>> Hi everyone. 

2017-03-12 11:42:48.573	This is just a appreciation and 

2017-03-12 11:42:51.573	thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:42:51.574	Thank you Joe Goode. 

2017-03-12 11:42:54.575	Thank you axis. 

2017-03-12 11:42:56.574	Thank you Judy. 

2017-03-12 11:42:58.624	For your effort, your ideas and 

2017-03-12 11:43:01.622	visions to put this into action. 

2017-03-12 11:43:04.625	When you asked us how do you 

2017-03-12 11:43:13.624	feel, what are you thinking. 

2017-03-12 11:43:16.652	I'm still -- my heart is beating 

2017-03-12 11:43:20.653	really fast. 

2017-03-12 11:43:21.653	And I just pretty much wanted to 

2017-03-12 11:43:28.654	thank each character that you 

2017-03-12 11:43:28.655	saw dancing on stage was as 

2017-03-12 11:43:32.655	unique in person as they are out 

2017-03-12 11:43:34.654	of play and on stage. 

2017-03-12 11:43:38.655	So to me I was very -- recently 

2017-03-12 11:43:42.654	-- I'm sorry. 

2017-03-12 11:43:42.654	I am an apprentice for axis and 

2017-03-12 11:43:48.697	has been a couple of months in 

2017-03-12 11:43:49.738	the dance studio learning about 

2017-03-12 11:43:49.739	movement and body and it has 

2017-03-12 11:43:54.737	been a very huge appreciating 

2017-03-12 11:43:56.737	journey for me recently and I 

2017-03-12 11:43:57.737	just wanted to share that 

2017-03-12 11:43:57.738	because their talent has 

2017-03-12 11:44:01.739	inspired me and made me believe 

2017-03-12 11:44:05.754	in dancing and in myself again. 

2017-03-12 11:44:06.781	Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:44:08.779	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:44:09.779	>> Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:44:22.824	It's just hard to come down. 

2017-03-12 11:44:24.874	Yes to everything. 

2017-03-12 11:44:26.874	And I feel like I want to 

2017-03-12 11:44:30.875	acknowledge the way in which all 

2017-03-12 11:44:33.873	of the work of the people in 

2017-03-12 11:44:33.874	this room is about giftgiving. 

2017-03-12 11:44:35.873	I want to say that I feel like I 

2017-03-12 11:44:38.875	have in the recipient of many 

2017-03-12 11:44:41.906	powerful gifts this weekend. 

2017-03-12 11:44:43.906	I also want to point out that we 

2017-03-12 11:44:47.907	are all trying to navigate this 

2017-03-12 11:44:48.907	world. 

2017-03-12 11:44:48.908	When we talk about Michael's 

2017-03-12 11:44:51.907	wonderful word of operational -- 

2017-03-12 11:44:56.908	the continuous navigation that 

2017-03-12 11:44:56.908	we are all making between the 

2017-03-12 11:44:58.948	worlds of commerce and pragmatic 

2017-03-12 11:45:05.032	existence and the gifts we want 

2017-03-12 11:45:05.033	to give and are giving and 

2017-03-12 11:45:09.032	managing to figure out how to 

2017-03-12 11:45:10.033	give it in spite of the 

2017-03-12 11:45:14.032	complexities of navigating these 

2017-03-12 11:45:15.033	worlds. 

2017-03-12 11:45:16.031	I just want to knowledge that 

2017-03-12 11:45:17.034	the giftgiving is really coming 

2017-03-12 11:45:17.034	through. 

2017-03-12 11:45:17.035	Thanks. 

2017-03-12 11:45:18.031	>> I just wanted to say thank 

2017-03-12 11:45:30.075	you to all of you and to 

2017-03-12 11:45:32.076	HowlRound and to NEFA. 

2017-03-12 11:45:35.075	When I started this work, the 

2017-03-12 11:45:40.124	only male dancer that I could 

2017-03-12 11:45:41.125	get that knew how to move like a 

2017-03-12 11:45:42.124	Marine and could bring that 

2017-03-12 11:45:44.125	element to our productions was 

2017-03-12 11:45:45.126	my roommate infallujah. 

2017-03-12 11:45:52.173	We would go to these showcases 

2017-03-12 11:45:57.201	in New York City with all of 

2017-03-12 11:46:02.203	these modern dancers and we 

2017-03-12 11:46:02.203	would get our prop M-16s and 

2017-03-12 11:46:08.243	bring this picture of the combat 

2017-03-12 11:46:09.242	zone to the stages and there was 

2017-03-12 11:46:12.284	very little work going on in the 

2017-03-12 11:46:12.285	arena. 

2017-03-12 11:46:12.285	Smatterings here and there. 

2017-03-12 11:46:15.286	As time went on I got connected 

2017-03-12 11:46:19.284	to people like Victoria. 

2017-03-12 11:46:19.285	Liz and other people that were 

2017-03-12 11:46:27.285	working in this paradigm. 

2017-03-12 11:46:27.286	To see this work develop and the 

2017-03-12 11:46:31.328	importance of it grow and then 

2017-03-12 11:46:32.327	to come here and see this 

2017-03-12 11:46:34.326	community come together. 

2017-03-12 11:46:36.326	I think HowlRound did a great 

2017-03-12 11:46:40.326	structuring of this in that all 

2017-03-12 11:46:44.329	of the boundaries were broken 

2017-03-12 11:46:44.33	down. 

2017-03-12 11:46:44.331	We were able to come together as 

2017-03-12 11:46:49.374	a community and really create 

2017-03-12 11:46:50.374	not only something for the 

2017-03-12 11:46:50.374	future but motivation to keep 

2017-03-12 11:46:52.375	going. 

2017-03-12 11:46:52.376	So that's my way of just saying 

2017-03-12 11:46:54.375	thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:46:55.376	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:46:56.374	>> I just wanted to follow up on 

2017-03-12 11:47:07.425	-- I will coordinate with Jamie

2017-03-12 11:47:10.425	on the one pager that has been 

2017-03-12 11:47:10.425	requested. 

2017-03-12 11:47:10.426	It's always a little 

2017-03-12 11:47:14.426	complicated. 

2017-03-12 11:47:14.426	The NEA cannot advocate for the 

2017-03-12 11:47:17.427	NEA. 

2017-03-12 11:47:17.428	We can provide you with the 

2017-03-12 11:47:21.494	requested materials. 

2017-03-12 11:47:21.495	The caveat that I would say, the 

2017-03-12 11:47:29.494	one pager really focuses on 10 

2017-03-12 11:47:33.496	geographic areas. 

2017-03-12 11:47:33.497	Some of them are embargoed. 

2017-03-12 11:47:34.495	We're going to be announcing the 

2017-03-12 11:47:38.537	final four selection sites on 

2017-03-12 11:47:42.54	March 27 right after that. 

2017-03-12 11:47:43.54	In some ways you can say there 

2017-03-12 11:47:47.538	is about to be an announcement 

2017-03-12 11:47:49.539	where it's growing even further. 

2017-03-12 11:47:49.539	I just wanted to let you know. 

2017-03-12 11:47:54.58	We will also link you to a video 

2017-03-12 11:47:59.625	that has been pretty effective 

2017-03-12 11:47:59.626	as well. 

2017-03-12 11:47:59.627	I think it's great to echo the 

2017-03-12 11:48:07.676	veteran artists that express 

2017-03-12 11:48:08.675	their gratitude. 

2017-03-12 11:48:09.678	>> This is really gratifying 

2017-03-12 11:48:12.676	work. 

2017-03-12 11:48:12.677	I just want to encourage you to 

2017-03-12 11:48:16.707	keep leaning into it. 

2017-03-12 11:48:16.708	If you do, be prepared to have a 

2017-03-12 11:48:21.748	very complicated response for 

2017-03-12 11:48:23.749	someone saying to you who has 

2017-03-12 11:48:25.749	served, thank you for your 

2017-03-12 11:48:25.75	service. 

2017-03-12 11:48:25.751	There is no better reason to 

2017-03-12 11:48:32.79	have a difficult emotional 

2017-03-12 11:48:32.791	response than to try to sort out 

2017-03-12 11:48:36.789	why this is good and why it was 

2017-03-12 11:48:36.79	worth it. 

2017-03-12 11:48:36.79	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:48:37.788	>> I was just thinking during 

2017-03-12 11:48:44.79	the talkback. 

2017-03-12 11:48:46.795	Axis has been in Tampa and Duane 

2017-03-12 11:48:55.791	is partially based in Tampa and 

2017-03-12 11:48:58.833	has actually done workshops with 

2017-03-12 11:48:58.834	some of the same veterans that I 

2017-03-12 11:49:00.832	do workshops with. 

2017-03-12 11:49:01.834	We just had this convening with 

2017-03-12 11:49:04.877	Americans for the arts in Tampa

2017-03-12 11:49:08.925	and some of the veterans I work 

2017-03-12 11:49:09.927	with on a regular basis went to 

2017-03-12 11:49:11.925	see point perform. 

2017-03-12 11:49:14.925	-- Dwayne perform. 

2017-03-12 11:49:18.928	He was so inspiring to them to 

2017-03-12 11:49:27.959	feel like they are part of 

2017-03-12 11:49:27.96	something much larger than what 

2017-03-12 11:49:30.963	they are experiencing locally. 

2017-03-12 11:49:31.959	So I just want to say that what 

2017-03-12 11:49:37.959	occurred to me is if there's a 

2017-03-12 11:49:38.958	way for us to continue not only 

2017-03-12 11:49:38.959	convening but maybe to do 

2017-03-12 11:49:40.975	exchanges or maybe some way that 

2017-03-12 11:49:44	these projects who work with 

2017-03-12 11:49:46.001	real veterans in local 

2017-03-12 11:49:48	communities get to connect with 

2017-03-12 11:49:52.003	each other and know that they 

2017-03-12 11:49:52.003	are part of something larger and 

2017-03-12 11:49:56.003	something national and that 

2017-03-12 11:49:56.003	their voices are in the room 

2017-03-12 11:49:56.004	with us even when they're not 

2017-03-12 11:49:57	here. 

2017-03-12 11:49:58	It would be fabulous to see some 

2017-03-12 11:50:01.002	of them here. 

2017-03-12 11:50:01.003	I just wanted to offer that. 

2017-03-12 11:50:03.002	>> Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:50:06.004	I'm going to give you the final 

2017-03-12 11:50:06.005	word over there. 

2017-03-12 11:50:08.002	>> Maybe gratitude. 

2017-03-12 11:50:14.044	I feel I learned so much 

2017-03-12 11:50:17.084	personally. 

2017-03-12 11:50:19.085	And so much that I think will be 

2017-03-12 11:50:22.085	important for the work we are 

2017-03-12 11:50:23.084	trying to do. 

2017-03-12 11:50:24.088	I wanted to echo what is it that 

2017-03-12 11:50:31.086	makes a life worth living? 

2017-03-12 11:50:32.087	We heard that in the bigger 

2017-03-12 11:50:35.086	sense from Liz about risk, 

2017-03-12 11:50:42.087	purpose and love. 

2017-03-12 11:50:43.128	And I felt that and saw that and 

2017-03-12 11:50:48.177	I feel so grateful for that. 

2017-03-12 11:50:48.177	I wanted to share other things I 

2017-03-12 11:50:52.251	learned. 

2017-03-12 11:50:52.252	So much of the power of when I 

2017-03-12 11:50:57.257	was exposed to was in the

2017-03-12 11:51:00.255	particular. 

2017-03-12 11:51:00.255	I think all the artists know 

2017-03-12 11:51:00.255	that. 

2017-03-12 11:51:00.256	The power is in the particular. 

2017-03-12 11:51:03.254	I was also struck that the 

2017-03-12 11:51:08.254	importance and the healing 

2017-03-12 11:51:08.254	importance is in the universal. 

2017-03-12 11:51:09.253	Particularly as I watched that 

2017-03-12 11:51:13.254	last piece around trauma. 

2017-03-12 11:51:14.254	It's universal, it's human. 

2017-03-12 11:51:17.254	That magical dance between the 

2017-03-12 11:51:22.338	particular and the universal I 

2017-03-12 11:51:28.427	think is the empowering 

2017-03-12 11:51:28.427	structure for this whole area of 

2017-03-12 11:51:29.426	work. 

2017-03-12 11:51:30.426	I had the feeling that -- why 

2017-03-12 11:51:33.431	couldn't more people see what I 

2017-03-12 11:51:36.428	just saw? 

2017-03-12 11:51:36.429	This fantasy -- could the new 

2017-03-12 11:51:41.429	secretary for Veterans Affairs 

2017-03-12 11:51:42.428	have been sitting with us? 

2017-03-12 11:51:43.478	Watching, just watching. 

2017-03-12 11:51:46.507	Not to have an opinion, although 

2017-03-12 11:51:48.506	he would. 

2017-03-12 11:51:49.505	He's a very humanistic person. 

2017-03-12 11:51:52.508	And I just had that fantasy. 

2017-03-12 11:51:55.547	I think it's achievable. 

2017-03-12 11:52:01.727	The power of the work is 

2017-03-12 11:52:01.727	universal and if we put it out 

2017-03-12 11:52:02.727	there it will connect. 

2017-03-12 11:52:02.728	>> Thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:52:05.727	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:52:07.727	>> Just one final thing from my 

2017-03-12 11:52:11.728	end. 

2017-03-12 11:52:11.728	It takes a ton of people to put 

2017-03-12 11:52:15.728	a convening together. 

2017-03-12 11:52:15.729	There's always the heart of the 

2017-03-12 11:52:18.756	convening. 

2017-03-12 11:52:18.757	Really the heart of this

2017-03-12 11:52:24.756	convening and I know because I 

2017-03-12 11:52:24.757	saw the meeting for hours and 

2017-03-12 11:52:26.76	hours over the last months, one 

2017-03-12 11:52:30.758	who we mentioned earlier, Jamie

2017-03-12 11:52:35.797	gallun. 

2017-03-12 11:52:38.799	And the last person is Jane 

2017-03-12 11:52:41.799	Preston from NEFA who has done a 

2017-03-12 11:52:44.8	tremendous amount of work. 

2017-03-12 11:52:44.801	So thank you. 

2017-03-12 11:52:46.801	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:52:47.799	>> Thank you all.

2017-03-12 11:53:06.929	birthday. 

2017-03-12 11:53:06.93	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:53:07.928	>> So perhaps we could have 

2017-03-12 11:53:12.978	another group sing-along. 

2017-03-12 11:53:14.978	And sing happy birthday to

2017-03-12 11:54:02.135	Happy birthday [APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:54:05.136	>> Thank you all. 

2017-03-12 11:54:10.178	There have been a lot of Thank 

2017-03-12 11:54:10.179	you's but I get to wrap them up 

2017-03-12 11:54:15.179	and my favorite thing to do is 

2017-03-12 11:54:16.181	express gratitude so I'm going 

2017-03-12 11:54:16.182	to do some more of that. 

2017-03-12 11:54:17.18	First of all to all of the 

2017-03-12 11:54:20.227	artists who were with us from 

2017-03-12 11:54:22.227	the beginning of planning for 

2017-03-12 11:54:23.228	this convening and really were 

2017-03-12 11:54:28.229	the core of building who is here 

2017-03-12 11:54:29.229	and gave us the art and the 

2017-03-12 11:54:32.229	performances that wove 

2017-03-12 11:54:34.228	throughout the time. 

2017-03-12 11:54:35.229	Thank you to all of the artists. 

2017-03-12 11:54:40.261	[APPLAUSE]

2017-03-12 11:54:56.345	[APPLAUSE]

2017-03-12 11:55:46.531	Duke, melon, NEA. 

2017-03-12 11:55:49.557	I think this is the beginning of

2017-03-12 11:55:54.555	coalescing with other funders to 

2017-03-12 11:55:57.558	build this work.

2017-03-12 11:56:10.556	stuff out. 

2017-03-12 11:56:10.557	We are going to be sending out a 

2017-03-12 11:56:10.558	contact list which many people 

2017-03-12 11:56:13.556	have been requesting and we are 

2017-03-12 11:56:14.557	on it. 

2017-03-12 11:56:14.558	We are going to send out a brief 

2017-03-12 11:56:18.557	evaluation and I think I will 

2017-03-12 11:56:20.557	just racket that by saying we 

2017-03-12 11:56:25.558	also want to spend some time 

2017-03-12 11:56:26.558	thinking about the questions we 

2017-03-12 11:56:29.559	want to continue to feed out and 

2017-03-12 11:56:31.6	build all of this conversation 

2017-03-12 11:56:31.601	over time. 

2017-03-12 11:56:33.6	Our amazing documentation 

2017-03-12 11:56:39.642	consultant, Maureen White, who 

2017-03-12 11:56:43.641	has been quietly with us the

2017-03-12 11:56:44.642	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:56:45.64	>> I can't believe she still has 

2017-03-12 11:56:49.641	fingers. 

2017-03-12 11:56:49.641	Maureen has an amazing way of 

2017-03-12 11:56:53.642	synthesizing themes and big 

2017-03-12 11:56:59.642	picture. 

2017-03-12 11:56:59.643	She will help us with some of 

2017-03-12 11:56:59.643	the questions and we will get a 

2017-03-12 11:57:00.641	report back out to you. 

2017-03-12 11:57:02.683	And then out to the field as 

2017-03-12 11:57:06.73	soon as we can do that. 

2017-03-12 11:57:07.731	We also work a lot with Chris 

2017-03-12 11:57:12.731	wire and we will continue those 

2017-03-12 11:57:15.78	conversations with Chris about 

2017-03-12 11:57:19.78	some follow-ups and case studies

2017-03-12 11:57:24.779	in building lexicons and the 

2017-03-12 11:57:25.781	aesthetic conversation in 

2017-03-12 11:57:25.781	particular. 

2017-03-12 11:57:25.782	HowlRound, as Jamie and Carl and 

2017-03-12 11:57:32.81	David have pointed out is an 

2017-03-12 11:57:32.811	ongoing resource. 

2017-03-12 11:57:33.81	It's an ongoing place to post 

2017-03-12 11:57:37.813	thoughts and writing about this. 

2017-03-12 11:57:38.81	Consider yourselves all 

2017-03-12 11:57:41.853	connected to HowlRound and of 

2017-03-12 11:57:43.893	course to NEFA. 

2017-03-12 11:57:45.893	This is the course of our work 

2017-03-12 11:57:50.892	and this has been such a 

2017-03-12 11:57:50.893	revitalizing project for me so I 

2017-03-12 11:57:52.892	thank you all. 

2017-03-12 11:57:52.893	[APPLAUSE] 

2017-03-12 11:57:54.892	>> And as a last thing, if 

2017-03-12 11:58:05.895	people can kind of move down for 

2017-03-12 11:58:07.895	those of you who are left here, 

2017-03-12 11:58:09.937	we would love to capture one 

2017-03-12 11:58:10.936	last photo. 

2017-03-12 11:58:10.937	Let's actually -- is it possible 

2017-03-12 11:58:17.983	for everyone to come to the 

2017-03-12 11:58:17.983	stage? 

2017-03-12 11:58:17.984	That would be -- no, of course. 

2017-03-12 11:58:22.032	That was the original location 

2017-03-12 11:58:26.062	actually.
