Entertainment and cultural enrichment may enter one's life in unexpected ways.
This summer the Steiny Road Poet was invited by her itinerant poet friend
James Hopkins to see colorful quilts made by Nepalese mothers who are trying to provide education for their children.
Quilts for Kids Nepal is a project James started to empower these mothers to improve the lives of their children, who are otherwise sent out on the streets of Kathmandu at age seven to beg.
In this dance video, one sees some of these quilts as well as the mesmerizing movement of
Butoh. This is a stylized dance originally in protest of long held traditions. In this video, however, the slow execution of body movement allows plenty of time to see the quilt being used by the dancer.
