TENSION IS THE GREAT INTEGRITY—Christopher Eaves has created a poignant and hilarious exposé of his life and times as an artist and educator. Inspired by American visionary R. Buckminster Fuller's concept of 'tensegrity' and fueled by a decade of experiences both inside the classroom and on the stage, TENSION IS THE GREAT INTEGRITY reveals how the identification and utilization of 'artistic tensegrity' can support artists and educators alike. Schedule TENSION IS THE GREAT INTEGRITY for your event.
