Anti-bullying dance

Today is World Mental Health Day and October is Bullying Prevention month.  The community of Highland Park in California is mourning the loss of Xavier Nungaray-Martinez who was basically bullied to death.

This piece was posted by Mel B who said, "We are studying dance ministry at Hillsong College and this is our 2nd semester group collaborative choreography dance piece on anti-bullying. It is based on a true story and we are dancing against bullying at schools. 

Performance date: 4th October 2012"

Mental Health PIECE | Dance

From the Choreographer, Argelis Capellan

"We live in a world where if you speak about your mental health you either are crazy or your making it up. Sometimes dealing with mental health can be even more painful when you simply cant express yourself with the correct words. Trying to explain what you feel when you get an anxiety attack is like trying to figure out why so many crazy things are happening in this world.....you can’t really explain it! You have voices in your head that make you go crazy plus your different mood swings. God has definitely taken me out of dark places plus being able to do something that I love makes it all better! I’ve always said this “I may not be book smart but when I’m in a dance studio I feel like a genius” When creating this piece I wanted people to see how no matter what you go through you can overcome it. This piece was created for exactly these reasons. It was created for you who are reading this to know that from a dark place you can enter into a place of peace. Theirs been moments of deep anxiety where I cant stop crying on my pillow to me exceeding into the women I am now. Not always we have to carry those dark places with us. You are capable of letting it go, you are capable of entering a place of peace! You do not have to apologize for the way you feel, express it and LET IT GO! You got this!"

Poetry

Heavy

I always thought that being strong
meant holding it all inside.
I carried the weight for far too long,
with nowhere left to hide.
I wish I knew I needed help when the days began to blur,
and getting out of bed each morn
felt harder than it used to be,
and left me feeling torn.
I wish I knew I needed help when the smallest things felt big,
like a spilled cup on the floor,
or a gentle question from a friend
that I just couldn’t face anymore.
I wish I knew I needed help when I forgot how to just breathe,
and spent my time pretending
that everything was perfectly fine,
while my own world was bending.
You do not have to do this alone.
The burden is too much to bear.
It is okay to let it down,
and let somebody care.
