We Are One at Caldcleugh Multicultural Arts Center
“Rivalry is a play written mostly by teens about the beginning phases of teen violence. We decided to produce this work in response to the shooting death of a local teenager that was said to have been fueled by a rivalry between two neighboring cities. It took us almost a year to the date to write and develop this piece. I was so pleased with the outcome. Great performances by all these actors.” Kerri Mubaarak

'No Hatin n Datin'
Returns with “What’s the Message in the Music?”
Weaver Academy: 300 S Spring St., Greensboro
Teens across Greensboro put the spotlight on dating violence February 20th from 7 – 9 p.m. at Weaver Academy auditorium in an evening of performing arts that explores how popular music portrays relationships, and what influence these songs have on young people. The program, called “No Hatin n Datin: What’s the Message in the Music?”, features teen dancers, musicians, actors, and other types of modern performers who will interpret lyrics of popular songs about healthy or unhealthy relationships.
Performers include:
Dudley High School Modern Dance Company
“Livestock Players Teen Theater” with the City Arts Drama Center
Northern Guilford High School Dance Department
“Trevor, Jalen & Company” with Weaver Academy
“We are One” from Caldcleugh Multicultural Art Center
This is the second ‘No Hatin n Datin’event designed to raise awareness about the effects teen dating violence. Like the first event in 2012, the program is sponsored by the Greensboro Police Department and multiple service agencies that are passionate about young people making smart choices regarding their partners.
After each performance, the tween and teen only audience will talk about what they heard and saw on stage. “We want the kids in attendance to feel comfortable expressing themselves,” said Mandy Curley, an advocate with the Greensboro Child Response Initiative. “So, very few adults will be permitted in the auditorium.”
---MORE---
Returning to moderate the discussion is 18 year-old Tyler Hardin, a Weaver High School student and entrepreneur, who facilitated the first ‘No Hatin n Datin’ program in 2012. Hardin earned the“Young Peacemaker Award” from Win-Win Resolutions in 2010 for being an advocate for students who are bullied or ostracized. The handful of adults in the auditorium will help Hardin answer questions about law, the court systems, available services, and healthy versus unhealthy relationships.
Counselors who specialize in treating young people exposed to violence, abuse, and trauma will be available in private rooms to assist anyone who may need their services.
“We have an all-star cast of talented young performers and a great team of service providers who are committed to raising awareness about teen dating violence, and giving our teens every chance to choose healthy relationships,” said Greensboro Police Chief Ken Miller. “Every one of us can make a difference in a young person’s life.Events like this one show what we can do when we all work together and focus on the safety and happiness of our teens.”
Parents and other adults will also have the opportunity to learn about what today’s teen are facing in the dating scene in the Weaver Dance Room.Several adult counselors will lead discussions that can include: indicators that your child may be in an unhealthy relationship; how to talk with your teen about choosing a good partner; and, what resources are available to help people in unhealthy relationships. Police officers will also be on hand to explain laws and the legal system.
The event is free. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and guests are encouraged to visit each participating agency’s display table to learn more about healthy relationships, and resources available to help those who may be in need of support.
Free parking is available at Weaver Academy and at the YMCA on South Spring Street.

Jeremy briefly will talk about his research internationally, then move the discussion towards what we can do here in our community to support just community with important connections...
Instead of separating the complexities of just community "over there" from the complexities of just community "here and now," the discussion will move from some theory/ideas behind Jeremy's research trip to India to some practices here on the ground in Greensboro...a robust discussion about how understanding Hindu-Muslim violence is not so different than understanding local violence...

Concrete, Steel, and Paint
Site: UNC-G: Stone 186
Join us for the documentary film screening of Concrete, Steel, and Paint, a film that tells the story of men in a Pennsylvania state prison join with victims of crime to create a mural about healing, their views on punishment, remorse, and forgiveness collide. Finding consensus is not easy – but as the participants move through the creative process, mistrust gives way to surprising moments of human contact and common purpose.
Following the film we will have a conversation about restorative justice, crime and reconciliation, and how art can facilitate dialogue about difficult issues. The discussion will be facilitated by Amy Knorr and Sarah Roth Shank, who bring years of experience working in restorative justice practices, and more recently, related to this film.
