Post Secret: Pop Culture Phenomenon
In November 2004, Frank Warren handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers. He invited people to write down a secret anonymously and mail it to him. Each secret had to be true and something that had never been shared with another person. After the first exhibition closed, word of the project spread. People began crafting their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets began arriving from every continent. Today, Warren has received more than 150,000 postcards and they continue to come at a rate of about 1,000 per week. The PostSecret exhibition features more than 400 postcards that bring together the most powerful, poignant, and beautifully intimate secrets Warren has received.

Dayton Contemporary Dance Company
DCDC is here to stay. DCDC’s art survives and carries on, bolstered by its electric vibe, global art, and community grass roots services. DCDC is many things to many people. For some, it is world-renowned; for others very young, a role model to be found in a DCDC dancer. Yet for choreographers of color, DCDC is a refuge of creative freedom while for the volunteer, a chance to perform good work for the benefit of thousands. That’s why this 42nd DCDC season is named No Boundaries. The name applies not only to the kind of DCDC art this season promises, but also to the entire ethic that permeates DCDC: born from necessity to overcome oppression—the ultimate boundary—DCDC from and through its very inception is open to possibilities, unions, and opportunities. Artistically, DCDC is a catalyst for melding disciplines into a fresh aesthetic and spiritual whole. In DCDC’s fall concert, JazzArtistically, DCDC dancers and superb jazz artists become one art. In the public schools, DCDC integrates art and learning, removing blocks to acquiring knowledge and the wielding of mental and physical skills. DCDC has always been a collaborating venture, reaching deep into the community beyond borders and uniting a highly diverse demographic in the Miami Valley community. As one example, the audience at last December’s DCDC In the Spirit of . . . concert was a sizeable blend of our black and white community. Therefore, this season’s Black History Month In the Spirit of . . . concert, subtitled . . . the Spirit within, will bring our community together again for another celebration of African-American liturgical music and soul. Having been, and continuing to be, many things, DCDC is a testimony to endurance against great odds, to become a special ground for empathy, imagination, and the will to carry through. DCDC is as much about life as it is about art. Perhaps its ultimate quality rests there and, if so, all who come to enjoy DCDC’s gifts are welcome to stay. You, after all, are the reason DCDC is here indefinitely and without boundaries!
