Witness a moving performance that merges art and activism at Dance for Peace, taking place on Monday, May 27 at 2:00 p.m. in front of 1020 Ocean Drive. This anti-gun violence piece features NYC-based soloists Madelaine Burnett and Tomislav Nevistic, performing at the very location where they experienced a shooting in 2022.
Nevistic describes the event as "surreal," highlighting the urgency that fuels their performance. Through their dance, Burnett and Nevistic seek to raise awareness of gun violence and promote peace within communities.
