Good afternoon everybody. Before I do an overview of
what you can expect. I'd like to invite two
very important participants of the symposium. Matthew Cumbie and
Christine King with the dance exchange. [clapping] I got a
keep moving, moving on. I gotta keep moving
moving on. I moved a long way from where I've been, but I'm gonna
keep moving till a new way begins. I'm gonna
keep moving, moving on. I'm gonna keep moving. I moved a long
way from where I've been? But I'm gonna keep moving til
a new way begins. I'm gonna keep
holding, holding on. I'm gonna keep holding, holding on.
I've held so many things from where I've been, but I'm
gonna keep holding, holding, holding till the strength in me wins.
This is an invitation to move together through
this conference to bring ideas into action. To invoke
collaboration across disciplines, to sit with our discomfort,
to explore how we each offer our role in advancing
the human condition. Linger here with us. We invite
you to breathe, to notice, to experience,
to offer, to question, to bridge build together
Thank you.
