  Street
of Dreams was founded in 1998 by recording artist
Teresa Gunn. A singer/songwriter
and activist, Teresa has spent 30 years performing her original work in
clubs, theatres and colleges. Part Cabaret, part street punk, she is a graduate
of the "Soho School of Modernism". The Washington Post wrote "Teresa
cuts through niceties and demands real contact ". The San Diego Reader
has called her "one of San Diego's most important talents.
When asked to describe her development and work with Street of Dreams" she said this: "As an artist it is my job to be the connection and help the student to realize and fall in love with the power of choice. We have choice. Make it tangible. Song writing, poetry, spoken word performance, often the door to inspiration. When one commits word to paper, that can be art. Take that notion to a population of throw-aways. Create trust. Stand that group before an audience, give that group a voice to express their own sense of sorrow, anger, loss, fear, frustration, sexuality, hope, love and possibility, this creates community. When that community is led by a committed team of artists, teachers and caring supportive guides, daily life becomes magic. An ordinary life becomes extraordinary. A dismal street becomes a street of dreams." |
