Artist/ educator Laurie Marshall brought a sculpture called "We Are One Tribe" into Melanie Moffet's English class in rural Virginia. She asked the students to write about the idea of "One Tribe". In 30 minutes, Melanie wrote this amazing poem. Laurie asked Carol Lucking to turn it into a song, which now accompany Laurie's oil paintings in a multi-media dance/drama called "Stories from the Dust in the Corner". The play celebrates the lives of three women who each met death in their own courageous way: Mythili Nakirran of India, Amira Skalijic of Bosnia and Alice Marshall of America. We all turn into dust, and dust always comes back. Instrumentation by Lorraine Duisit and Tom Espinola
