These talented young ladies, who enigmatically prefer to call themselves Word and Image, will be teaching an innovative course at the ICBIE, starting in August. They are already doing brilliant work, promoting the ICBIE and their project, The Story Instinct. This is Word’s description of a delightful fund raising party they held in Trevignano, north of Rome.
On Valentine’s day, as many of you single bunch were home alone sipping chocolate, and some of you lazy couples were having the same old routine dine out or an attempt to romance with the classic home-cooked meal, Word & Image had planned the ultimate romantic night for the friends of their project The Story Instinct, supported by ICBIE. In fact, at the Bar La Vela, on the edges of Lake Bracciano and in the lovely village of Trevignano Romano, their guests had an amazing night. A pianist delighted the crowd with his unique compositions. A legend is rumoured… It is believed that whoever heard the magical notes of his enchanting piano, fell in love at once… no, not with the person in front of them nor with the pianist, but with his blissful music.
A surreal atmosphere, beautiful dream catchers decorating each table, heavenly music, candle light, friends, lovers, and supporters of The Story Instinct Project were all there. The turnout was surprising since the location was so remote. However those who came, not only showed genuine interest for the project and had a really good time, they also gave generous donations. Many have signed up to stay updated with future Word & Image events, hoping they will take place very soon. These will involve capoeira shows, more live music, and many other surprises.
