Jude Binder has been teaching WV children and adults about dance, music, and art for decades in Calhoun County, WV. For more than a decade a group of exceptional artists, have worked to combine song, drama, dance, animation and masks with poetry and symbolism to convey the breadth and depth of the impact of domestic violence. They have fashioned a fantastic world of timeless drama that fuses personal testimony, historical court records and artistic invention to link the phenomenon of domestic violence to the universal human struggle for freedom from violence and shame.
It features the work of award winning author, dancer and visual artist Jude Binder, animator/illustrator Gideon Kendall, singer/composer David Wall, singer/songwriter Ethel Caffie-Austin, photographer, Neil Grahame, singer/storyteller Ilene Evans and international dance star Ira Bernstein.
