Pinked 

(ELA's latest songbook movie about trusting & exploring core perceptions)

Pamela Sackett, ELA's founder and principal artist, was looking for a way to expand ELA's arts-based resources and bring the message of her song Pink to a wider audience. Thanks to Catchafire, a skills-based volunteer-recruiting agency in New York, the project post came to the attention of an artist in Savannah, Georgia, in search of a heartfelt, meaningful enterprise.

Inspired by their first meeting with the gifted visual artist Peiqing Lu, Pamela & Daniel Sackett created a visual script to align with Pamela's song Pink. The visual story expands the message of the song, juxtaposing the conceptual-metaphorical poetry of the song's first-person lyrics with the unfolding of a visceral-visual inside story of our self-searching, tender protagonist. 

Thanks to John Milligan's generous songbook production efforts, design savvy and skills, the collaboration has successfully achieved its learning tool resource-expansion goal: an entrancing musical picture book called Pinked!

With the help of another set of Catchafire volunteers, we have translated Pink lyrics into other languages. Please see our details page for Pink.

*Note: Pinked enjoyed its first successful screening as part of Pamela's guest artist presentation for a 2021 teen-writing program at the University of Washington.

Please contact us if you would like Pamela to visit your group, virtually, to screen this five-minute movie and to facilitate
a lively Q & A/discussion afterwards.
