Who we are:
Play it Forward: Chad, Eva, Karl, Sarah - four University of Wisconsin - Parkside students on a mission.
Our Mission:
Use our communication skills and artistic abilities to commit random acts of joy/kindness and in doing so, inspire others to "play it forward" and do the same. We want to bring art back into the everyday lives of our community members and inspire them to explore the benefits of creative outlets. Our acts might be highly physical - such as dancing - or may challenge our participants visually through use of chalk, markers, pencils, or anything else! Whatever the medium, we want our acts to encourage collaboration and stress the importance of community.
Although our acts will be face to face and interactive, we will document them with the use of photography, video, and this blog.
How Can you Help?
If you've been "infected" with a smile from Play it Forward, feel free to "spread the smiles" yourself. (Keep in mind we are trying to use artistic measures) So, be creative - try to document it somehow if you can. When you are finished playing, please contact us so we can upload your story to this blog! Send us pictures, videos, or anything else you have so we can see how far one act of kindness can travel.
Ultimate Goal: Get as many people to smile as possible and get them to get other people to smile- using art!
