Dear All,
I haven't been able to yet write. Because I have no words – and there are none. No words are powerful enough to describe the unspeakable, the loss of lives, the horror of the situation, the forced emigration, the human misery.
For 50 years, since the Cold War, we – the cultural world – have been working on open boundaries between artists, opening and sharing our artform.
I am OBVIOUSLY – as everyone – with my heart and soul willing to help. There will not be one artist, dancer, HUMAN being in need in Hamburg that I will not try to help. I have just landed in Los Angeles from Toronto, but I can assure you that I will do all in my power to protect and help people, artists and dancers coming from Ukraine.
This is a horrific situation. One that we all hoped would never have happened in the view of the too vivid past.
Sending you all my very best from a very heavy heart.
John Neumeier
