Shenandoah Conservatory
This performance is presented by the Shenandoah Conservatory Dance Division and Music Therapy program in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Music Therapy program.
Survival in Ruins is a memoir that contemplates grief, parenthood, and slowness. Inspired by the recent birth of her second son, a father with Alzheimer’s, and mycelium networks – a body moves forcefully slow confronting the reality of the making and unmaking of a life. Lost, forgetful, in need, revealing its triumphs and tribulations.
Survival in Ruins asks us to sit inside growth and loss, stillness and silence, and what it means to be called into extreme presence.
