what’s in a name
Δ is the symbol
for change,
for transformation.
In Greek,
deme means village.
Demetra knows it takes
a village to create anything—
a book, a play, a child.
She believes the
creative arts transform
illness into inspiration,
aching into advocacy,
and women into warriors.
The katharsis of theatre,
whether as actor or audience,
the renewal of the body
through dance or movement,
the quest for words—
all have the potential to
heal an entire village.
