2020 NICE Workshops:

Participants at our workshops are encouraged to create new artwork, writings, and music/songs inspired by the four selected passages and our creative discussions. Whether or not you attend a workshop, your inspired creations may be submitted for the 6th Annual Presentations Event on November 07, 2020.

About CEArts’ annual Noblesville Interdisciplinary Creativity Expo (NICE) project:

The brainchild of author Sarah E. Morin and artist/author Alys Caviness-Gober, NICE is now in its 6th year. The annual project includes workshops, and main event in the Fall. NICE offers the opportunity to be (re)inspired by classic literary passages selected by Alys and Sarah E. each year. NICE breathes new life into the classics by encouraging people to discuss the works selected, engage in critical thinking, and experimenting with creativity.

This year’s four selected books are: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, Dracula by Bram Stoker, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, for the first time ever, we’re sharing our behind-the-scenes discussions for selecting the books and passages for our 2020 NICE project. We started with a short list of eight books this year: Jane Eyre, Emma, Gone With The Wind, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dracula, Little Women, Portrait of Jenny, and The Turn of the Screw. We discussed each book, then select our Final Four Books, then discussed several passages from each book and chose the Final Four Passages (one from each book). Our behind-the-scenes episodes are uploaded each Friday at 4pm. Corresponding short videos can be seen on our YouTube channel 2020 NICE playlist.

Content Note: Written works, especially classics and books set in historical time periods, almost always contain problematic content: intolerance, prejudice, discrimination, and racism. This year’s four selected books all possess elements of prejudice, intolerance, and racism, as well as classism, and violence and domestic abuse.

Crossroads Dance Indy (CDI) was created in May 2015 when a group of Indianapolis-based dance artists came together to create artistic opportunities and outlets for inspired creativity. CDI’s mission at Crossroads Dance Indy is to establish community connections and impact local society through evolving artistic collaborations and works.
