University of Illinois Dance Department Wise Women 1998 University of Illinois dance professor and choreographer Linda Lehovec and Deborah Fell, artist, collaborated in the Fall of 1998 to combine art, music and dance. Lehovec choreographed the movement, based on inspiration from the book The Tao of Women by Metz & Tobin. The initial interest began with Fell’s art quilt, Silence Broken, now in Pakistan at the American Embassy, which was based on the book’s images. All images were used with permission by the authors. The book brings a secret language to the forefront. Women in this Hunan area of China were not allowed to communicate and therefore created eighty secret symbols, which connected them to other women. These tiny but powerful symbols were the soul of the collaboration. Three nine foot see-through art quilts were created by Fell. The art quilts were transparent so the dancers, as the women did, could connect in spite of a barrier.

Are We Losing the War Against Violence in Our Schools?
1993
After being hurt in a gang fight at the high school where I teach, I responded with art. Rather than leaving teaching in 1993, I stayed & became a part of the first 'safe schools' committee.
Let's all work together to keep our children safe in our schools.
