Fidéle Youth Dance Company Presents: 'The Wemmicks'
Presented by Turning Pointe Dance at Louisa Performing Arts Center Colorado Springs, CO
Fidéle Youth Dance Company is proud to present: "The Wemmicks," created from Max Lucado’s "You Are Special." Join us in the Wemmick Village, where the wooden people spend their days sticking gold stars on the talented and admired, and gray dots on the flawed and outcast. Punchinello is covered in dots and feels worthless until Lucia, a Wemmick with no dots or stars at all, explains that Punchinello's value doesn't lie in the opinions of other Wemmicks. He is special simply because Eli the woodcarver made him, and Eli does not make mistakes. Punchinello begins to see his dots fall to the ground the more time he spends with Eli, and, together with Lucia, sets out to tell the other Wemmicks of the good news he's found. Performed by Fidéle Youth Dance Company. Directed by Mimi McKinnis with original music by Philip Hale.

November Exhibits: Lupita Carrasco, Sara DeRose, Susan Quinn Horsfall & Melissa Porter

Join us in November for First Friday! Friday, November 6th 4-8pm Lupita Carrasco - Bottom's Up Sara DeRose - Apology Tour Susan Quin Horsfall - Kaleidoscope Melissa Porter - I's, My's & Me's Melissa Porter Artist Statement: I’s, My’s & Me’s is a body of work about that contradiction. My work questions identity and value through distorted beliefs, fragmentation, collage, and self-portraiture. This new body of work is larger, more physically assertive, and more vulnerable than anything I have made before. The scale is intentional. After a lifetime of learning how to make myself smaller, I wanted to make something I could not hide behind. For much of my life, I was a supporting character in the lives of others. I became who and whatever I needed to be. I learned to anticipate, accommodate, please, and adapt. These were survival skills, and for a long time I mistook them for personality. It wasn't until my divorce in 2016 that I seriously considered a question that seemed almost embarrassingly simple: What do I want? Years later, I have a better answer to that question. Now I am asking something harder: Who do I want to be? Who am I when the people, roles and expectations that once defined me no longer do? Who might I become if nothing is preventing me from becoming her except myself? -Melissa Porter Sara DeRose Artist Statement: Apology Tour is born of my love of slow fiber crafts , the oddness of middlescence , and an…
