The audience tells the story~
"I so admire your decision to braid your dancing and your birthday celebration in a ritual of performance and reflection...
There is no fading of the passion for feeling alive in the particular way that dance allows, but perhaps there is a re-direction and a calibration—a different kind of eloquence not so closely aligned with athleticism, more aligned with the poetics of connection." -Diane Frank, professor, Stanford Univ. "Elegant" -Fred Mathews |
"...I was delighted
with the performance yesterday. And more than just delighted, I was moved by it. Thank you for modeling how to be fully alive in our wisdom years. I too will be 70 soon and it's one of the most contented periods of my life! This Woman's performance was remarkable and courageous. You can see how different her body is now, and her dancing technique unashamedly reflected that. She also showed a video montage of her early years, her feminist dance collective and her dance students. Her final piece was in her Buddhist nun’s robes. It felt like an honor to witness it." -A. Bowes "Congratulations on the sheer doing (of your solo performance) and especially bringing it forth with such artistry. It was wonderful to experience an evening of Dance with form, poetry,
wonderful music, sincerity and joy." -Gary Masters |
"The program was so skillful in its weaving together
music and dance and spoken word,
and elegant in its simplicity of presentation.
I enjoyed every moment, and every performer."
"The interlude at the Dance Palace
felt very special, and fed my soul.
I wandered back out into the evening
feeling refreshed and rejuvenated,
and even a little hopeful
about the prospects for humankind.
What else can one ask of an artistic experience?"
-Sarah
