Re: going beyond the normal boxes

Hi, Frank,

Thank you for your email. Wanted to let you know that I had a post-Moore discussion today in class. There were many fruitful places the conversation took in relation to the different responses to your work in the UNC-CH setting. The students were compelled by the polemic and uniqueness of your work, including the experience of meeting you in person.

I agree that the conflict or anxiety I felt was probably in repsonse to the new engagement with your work. I have felt and will continue to feel "inspired" by your performances, Frank (and Linda and Mikee) and I am appreciative that you spent the time with me and the class this week. Again, it brought about a unique experience (possibly the most!) for the students as valuable educationally and possibly a transformative experience...as well as a lively discussion. I told my mother tonight about the discussion and she said to say hi. Thank you again for everything.

With peace and continued support.

Warmly,

Shannon

great, Shannon! I am looking forward to other clases, performances, whatever! What did they say? What were the different responses, the many fruitful places?

yep, the "conflict " afterwards is in reality a door to a wider /deeper freedom. The person can either decide to open the door and enter or shut and lock it. It's her choice.

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
