Do you want to dance
sing, play music or perform?
The word BIOS is Greek for "life". I chose it very carefully because it can be understood in many languages, it is short and simple. I have an image of The Bios Center serving as an international icon for healthy living in harmony with nature.
The non profit museum and art gallery is the best platform to educate the masses, mixing the for profit businesses that compliment it allow us to bring people to action.
People will walk through the museum of natural history and say hmmm, ahaha, maybe an occasional wow. It educates but does not cause people to stop in their tracks and take action. Compare that to the video the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY One person, one step and people around the world join in instantly.

HERE IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE
Ballet is story telling with movement, we will tell a story about the rebirth of a planet? A new dawn of understanding, the New Energy Revolution. There will be a few simple steps that children and adults of all ages around the world can replicate. We will create one symbol, as simple as two fingers being held up as a peace sign that will identify the movement and offer it to the world without a trademark.
It will start with one person and a few steps on railroad street and as she works her way to the Green, others join in, one dance studio, then another, then a martial arts studio, yoga, craft center, the local bars and business's empty out and join in. It would start with a simple group of drummers that follow her and by the time we get to the Green we have a full electric symphony comprised of New Milford School children of all ages. Band, marching bands, chorus and performance artists, a dance floor and a full performance in collaboration with the many local dance studios.
Invitations to local celebrities and artists, a film crew to document it, newspapers, radio, television news crews, internet postings would send the message around the world at light speed. The unprecedented exposure for everyone involved would truly allow us to do well by doing good.

Now take it one step further and include Plow to Plate and other local vendors and the day will turn into a tremendous earth day celebration and grand opening celebration of the Bios Center. promoting a block party concept as well with all of the local businesses promoting something special, face painting at real estate office, moon bounce from hh taylor, etc
A lofty goal I agree, but dreams come true everyday.

I think this is a wonderful idea!! We would love to participate in
any way we can! How many communities have three thriving dance studios and a yoga studio within blocks of each other! I think it would be a beautiful sight!

Hi Steve,
I love your idea of creating a simple movement, gesture,sign/symbol for this new "Movement". A group effort to get this all started is a wonderful idea. I would love to participate however I can and would love for Studio D to be involved. We are very community oriented and would love to help spread the news. Bringing the dance studios, martial arts, yoga, art studios, etc together would send positive waves all over New Milford and perhaps all over the world. Putting a performance/ a ballet, together that is about our environment and the concepts of Bios is a very cool undertaking.

The concept is so exciting and particularly energizing for the downtown in New Milford (Railroad Street, in particular, is in dire need of energizing). A project with this kind of vision should be encouraged and embraced by the downtown. We should be striving for healthier living and a more sustainable lifestyle.
This is a sexy project that has the potential to draw a segment of the market here that would currently have minimal interest in the offerings on Railroad Street, with the exception of Fineline Theatre Arts!!!
An environmental ballet is a beautiful expression that transcends words - instead moving you in a more spiritual way.
