SUMMARY:The Butterfly Affect: An Embodied Performance Experience: JLF Colorado: International Literature Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Butterfly Affect is a guided experience to travel through a 
 butterfly’s metamorphosis from egg\, caterpillar\, chrysalis\, to 
 butterfly. It is an invitation for homo sapiens to contemplate growth 
 within themselves—to emerge transformed and ready to co-create an 
 equitable\, survivable\, and thrive-able world for life and the eco-systems 
 upon which life depends. All will witness three volunteers from the 
 audience enter the half-hour experience transforming through costume and 
 movement from an egg to a caterpillar\, a chrysalis\, and finally emerging 
 as a butterfly. Delving into the science of a butterfly’s metamorphosis 
 and embodying each stage can allow the opportunity to focus on something 
 within the self that is yearning to transform. Contemplation of a 
 butterfly’s metamorphosis contains useful truths\, codes\, and 
 inspiration for emergence that carries meaning for this moment in 
 multi-species evolutionary history. An egg\, a caterpillar\, chrysalis\, 
 and a butterfly are all created of the same matter\, yet are capable of 
 remarkable change from one iteration to the next. This transformation 
 suggests that change needn’t be scary or include deprivation\, but\, 
 rather\, could leave us lighter\, beautiful\, and capable of new flight. 
 This performance experience is designed to impress upon participants that 
 they have within them all that they need to be the change they yearn for 
 right now. One of the creators of this project\, Beth Osnes-Stoedefalke 
 (co-creator Sarah Fahmy Professor at Florida State Univ.) will introduce 
 this project\, lead all through the experience\, and then share the impact 
 of the world tour of this piece. Beth Osnes-Stoedefalke in 
 performance.\n\nVenue: Brook\n\nAll are invited to JLF Colorado - an annual 
 international literature festival of books\, ideas\, stories and 
 camaraderie - September 13-14 at Boulder Public Library.\n\n\n
