March is Women’s History Month and an opportunity to celebrate the creative contributions of the stronger sex!  And in keeping with the Harbor House mission of providing a supportive, caring and safe environment for our patients and their families during a medical crisis, we have embraced improvisation as the theme for this unique venture.  While most popularly associated with music (and specifically jazz), improvisation is a vital tool for creativity in many art forms, including, but not limited to theatre, dance, storytelling, poetry, film and video arts.  It’s also a great way to engage and collaborate supportively with others to solve a problem, tune your brain, promote well-being, elevate your spirit, or just have fun without fear!

It’s a positive force with boundless potential, and we intend to bring that to our community on Sunday, March 23 and beyond!   So, how do you fit in?  If you have a passion for creativity, collaboration and an eye or ear for great causes, we could really use your help to make this special day happen!  A few dollars here, a few dollars there, even loose change will make a difference.  After all, this festival is about positive change!  For more information about becoming a sponsor of the Festival of Women Improvisers (F.O.W.I.), please email carol@harborhouserochester.org, or visit:  https://haborhouseofrochester.app.neoncrm.com/event.jsp?event=9

and be sure to join us on Sunday March 23, 2-5 pm at The Brickstone Wintergarden by St. John’s.   F.O.W.I. is a production of Harbor House of Rochester.  All contributions are 100% tax-deductible.
