Call for Peace Drum & Dance Company (CFP) seeks to educate through the arts locally, nationally and internationally to promote a vision of humanity in the Circle Dance that embraces respect, balance, harmony and peace. The varied drum rhythms seem to reach back through time to the original roots of human life, finding the common thread that connects us all, while the ethnic expressions of those rhythms celebrate the diversity of humanity. The traditional dances mimic movements and elements of nature, demonstrating their origins in the natural, physical environment that surrounds us. They remind us that we are only a small part of the environment that nurtures and sustains us. The Circle Dance visibly embodies the global cooperation, respect and understanding that must lead the nations' peoples through the 21st century if there is to be a future for the children of the world. Call for Peace is a metaphor for that vision of a nonviolent world where all life thrives harmoniously.
