note: Vancouver Moving Theatre in association with urban ink's Fathom Labs and the Carnegie & Roundhouse(ommunity Centres present www.vancouvermovingtheatre.com Welcome to the 24th Anniversary of Vancouver Moving Theatre, and the premiere of We're All In This Together. This is the final phase of The Shadows Project, a three-year arts-based health and community development project to shed light on issues surrounding addiction and recovery. The Shadows Project provides an opportunity to give voice to concerns and viewpoints of many in our Downtown Eastside community; to provide arts training, mentoring and employment; and to share professional and community building skills in a respectful environment.

Like most people we know, we are dealing with addiction related issues experienced by family members, friends, colleagues and our neighborhood. It's time to frame addiction as a social, health, cultural and spiritual issue rather than a criminal issue. In our community's shadow play, we're reflecting on the impact of personal, family, ancestral, historical and cultural forces - including patterns of disease and healing. How do we move from personal and community trauma to personal and community healing? From inter-generational trauma to inter-generational healing? How many generations will it take? Healing is involved in facing and embracing our histories, and sharing our grief and shame, our hopes and joys. It is our hope that together - one step at a time - our community art work in the Downtown Eastside, and The Shadows Project in particular, will help to heal the damage. Our heartfelt thanks to the fantastic artistic and community team that has worked so hard, and with such commitment, on We're All In This Together. We are in awe of your courage, generosity, passion and drive to realize this dream. It has been a pleasure and an honour to work with you. All our relation…
