I have become a dame blue

Ever since I read Karen Swallow Prior's biography on the life and work of Hannah More, I have longed to find a group of artistically-minded, research scholars to share work with and generate critical feedback of my writing and choreography. I sought a community interested in the good, true, and beautiful. I have finally run across just such a society of women and, as an added bonus, they invoke Hannah More and The Blue Stocking Society, an informal literary, social, and educational women's movement in the 18th century. As a writer of fiction, poetry, and theatre, Hannah More was a prolific writer and worker to promote education for children and even worked alongside William Wilberforce in the Abolition Movement. Full of small contributions, More became my inspiration to accumulate a life of meaning and purpose in art, an outcrop of my Christian faith, no matter the smallest of tasks.
