Definitions from
Oxford LanguagesAfter years of researching ways dance can
impact conversation in the world of socio-politics and advocacy, in 1993, I
co-founded Shut Up & Dance, an annual AIDS benefit for MANNA (Metropolitan
Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) presented by the Dancers of Pennsylvania
Ballet. This program was created to help feed homebound HIV/AIDS patients. The
event has grown over the past 28 years, raising millions of dollars, allowing
MANNA to expand its mission. MANNA now helps to feed anyone with a life-threatening
illness, as well as their families.
