Gaynell Gosselin: “State of Emergency” is a performance piece curated by Gaynelle Gosselin set to a poem entitled, “And I Listened” by Shannon Willis.  Scattered among the verses is a reading of names of lives lost to addiction and overdose.  Local actor and recovery advocate Gary Kimble will be performing the verse, while James Fata, local recovery advocate and chapter lead for Young People In Recovery lists the names of those we have lost.   Gaynelle Gosselin, co-Founder of See Change Dance will dance in remembrance.  Community members are invited to participate, holding banners inscribed with a name and a memory of someone they’ve lost to substance use disorder and/or accidental overdose.  The intent is to humanize an epidemic that is currently claiming more than twelve Floridians and more than 144 Americans each and every day. These are people, not statistics.  Their lives matter.  The performance is a call to compassionate action toward stopping this modern day plague.
