Join us for a studio performance of a New Work In Progress that hopes to bring healing to Veterans and their families. A story of a U.S. Veteran who has flashbacks of his days in service. Engage with him as his experiences range from happy times with his comrades in the bar to jungle warfare. He is haunted by ghosts of his past; the waltz of his best friend who dies in his arms, The God of War, Madness, and finally Peace, as a lifelong pursuit of healing is ahead of him. (Synopsis below)
We hope you can see this Work In Progress, speak to Alison, Wendy, and the dancers about this creative process and where they hope this project will lead. A question and answer session will follow with the audience.
The dancers will also perform "In Spite Of, Because Of...The Wallpaper" and other repertoire on our 2024 season roster. Light refreshments will be served in the lobby.
Free admission, but, as all proceeds go to the dancers, a minimum donation of $15 is strongly suggested. You don't need a ticket or RSVP.
All proceeds go directly to the artists.
