Joining us for this evening is the writer of “The Slow Thought Manifesto”, Vincenzo Di Nicola who will serve as “MC” for this event in collaboration with choreographer Melanie Aceto and composer Thélonius Garcia. The evening will offer us a variety of creative methods for…slowing down. Taking on the big questions: “What makes new things possible?” and “How do we seek transformation and find renewal?” The manifesto offers one simple starting point: “Take your time.” For this evening, we invite you to slow down with a little help from the words of Di Nicola and a performance created by Aceto and Garcia.
