⁣OVERBOARD BY ANDY YODERMOBILE ART GALLERY: APRIL 22-JUNE 27 AT SANDLOT SOUTHEAST


The show was inspired by “The Great Shoe Spill of 1990” – an incident where 5 shipping containers containing 80,000 Nike sneakers were lost at sea. As the shoes washed ashore on the northwest coast of the US, oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer was able to create data leading to an important study of the ocean’s currents.


Combining this incident with the subculture of sneakerhead collectors brings attention to the impact of consumer culture on the planet’s environment. Each shoe is a version of the Nike’s iconic Jordan 5 sneaker, a shoe that was introduced in 1990, the same year as the spill.

⁣ Stef Williams is truly an avid reader and have been all her life. Along with that comes a vivid imagination and a passion for writing. That passion was finally brought to reality in her first novel Joy Happened. As a dreamer, she is a true Pisces Woman - mysterious, spiritual, imaginative, idealistic, and a fool for romance; all which she brings to life in my writing.

Authors Perspective:
It’s funny how things seem to fall into place whether or not it is a place that we want to be. Just for a moment, we should let our minds run free and reject any and all emotions evading our space; take in the simple things in life we take for granted such as the birds chirping on a sweet summer day. We should allow the sights and sounds to bring a different perspective to mind, a stress free perspective without any additives; just the simple things of life that lose appreciation along the way.

Join dancer Ashanté Green for a breathtaking contemporary dance performance at Chaia Tacos, an unconventional plant-based taco shop in the heart of Georgetown.

This event is part of our Mars Arts DC: Virtual—Dance in DC. Throughout these six short films, we celebrate the dynamic creativity of the local dance scene alongside the entrepreneurial spirit of local businesses. Curated and co-directed by dancer/choreographer C. Lorenzo Evans III—who also serves as Washington Performing Arts’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Finance—each Dance in DC film pairs a dance artist with a signature DC business. Award-winning Chilean-born local filmmaker and music-video director, Francisco Campos-Lopez, filmed and co-directed the pairings on location. Each production features a site-specific work, along with conversations between dancers and business owners who speak about their community in these critical times.

#MarsArtsDC is a partnership of Mars, Incorporated and Washington Performing Arts, with support from Jacqueline Badger Mars.

#MADCVirtual #DanceInDC is made possible in part through the support of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, Events DC, a Small Business Recovery Microgrant from the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development administered by the Latino Economic Development Center, and the HMF Beaudoin Family Foundation.

In addition, WPA thanks the Royal Norwegian Embassy, ChasenBoscolo, Encompass Supply/Rudy Burwell and Mona Mohib, and Washington Gas for their support of WPA’s innovative virtual community programming in 2020.
