Global Water Dances
More than 500 professional choreographers and dancers around the world work to create awareness of the local and global water issues, and to inspire their communities to work together to find solutions.
“We want clean water for everyone,” says Global Water Dances organizer Marylee Hardenbergh.
“Global Water Dances raise the awareness of participants and observers about the importance of water, and provide a model for empowering local communities to take action.
The event brings local environmental experts and organizations, artists and members of the community together in a process that can build ongoing collaborations.”
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion.
Rather follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
~ Franz Kafka
A devastating crisis
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), unsafe water causes 4.4 billion cases of diarrhea every year, resulting in 1.5 million deaths, mostly of children under five. A child dies somewhere in the world every 20 seconds from waterborne diarrhea. Overall, WHO figures show that unsafe water kills more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
