The local nonprofit Threads Dance Project (one of our neighbors!) is hosting a summer writing contest and hoping that members of the Augsburg community will participate.
Participants are asked to create a piece of writing inspired by one of four photographs from the Threads archives. Two winners will be chosen, and their work will be transformed and choreographed into a live performance piece that will be presented this fall.
