Greetings!
We are giddy with excitement at the onset of spring, and
not just because the sun has finally decided to make its appearance!
There are so many excellent projects, programs, and performances
in the coming weeks that we wish we could be in two (or three or four)
places at once!
I am headed to the Golden Mask Festival in Moscow this week to get a
taste of Russia's very best theater, but if I were in New York, I would
hightail it to the opening of WHW's exhibition at Printed Matter
entitled Hungry Man, Reach for the Book. It is a Weapon! (luckily,
the show will be up for a month). And everyone here at TMU is looking
forward to the end of April when we will host a panel discussion
organized and moderated by Barbara Lanciers with a stellar line-up of
special guests who will be sharing their insight on mentorship in the
performing arts.
See you this spring!
Best wishes,
Carrie Thompson
Associate Director

 EarthCorps Celebrates April as Earth Month!
This April 22 marks the 40th Anniversary of
Earth Day, and citizens around the world have been gearing up to celebrate the
many environmental victories since 1970, and the work that still needs to be
done.
EarthCorps, the Seattle-based environmental service and
conservation nonprofit, is on board with its Earth Month, which will include
thousands of environmental volunteers across the United States planting trees,
removing invasive plants, and doing other environmental restoration projects
throughout April.
A cornerstone of EarthCorps is the EarthCorps Training
Program, which brings talented environmental leaders from around the world
to Washington State to develop conservation and leadership skills. TMU
awards have helped support participants from Russia, Eastern and Central
Europe, and Central Asia.
To learn more about EarthCorps, Earth Month,
and the training program, visit: http://www.earthcorps.org/meet-the-corps.php

birth with his enduring tragicomedy Uncle Vanya, infusing this

nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing new media, music, and
related arts, the VICEVERSE tour will be presented in locations that are often left off the mainstream art-event circuit.
With a focus on fostering community
and
collaboration instead of competition, Dis-Patch (D-p) and Communikey (CMKY) are facilitating two collaborative tours to various cities throughout the United States and Eastern Europe, beginning on April 15th in Boulder, Colorado.
