The Voices of Anodyne

Anodyne is…

“building a community”

“I come here to paint”

“a place to strengthen my artistic ability”

“a place to let go”

“getting experience to support myself and my family”

“a place of self-expression”

“…learning by doing”

“it is important to me to bring awareness to differences”

“…don’t fence me in.”

“I found my niche”

“there is empathy, as opposed to sympathy”

“I am part of the vision”

“I can see my vision coming to life”

“a place where they look at abilities, not disabilities”

“…determination…”

“we help each other”

“I am overcoming my personal obstacles”

“a place to express myself”

“I feel at home here”

“…I realize that I have something to give.”

“there is no such thing as can’t”

“…genuine…”

“I come here to learn”

“and then there was life…”

The above was developed by Anodyne Associate Artists during a writing workshop facilitated by Ona, a theatre intern from University of Wisconsin - River Falls.
