CALL FOR ARTISTS //
Theatre Encounter seeks proposals from visual and performing artists for presentation in March 2025
https://www.theatreencounter.com/about/auditionsinternships/

This week in the Studio Theatre at cSPACE Marda Loop, we welcome back Sun.Ergos with a moving and inspirational new dance show on the subject of grief.

SHOWS FRIDAY/SAT/SUN.
https://www.showpass.com/dancing-in-the-ashes/

Sun.Ergos, a Company of Theatre and Dance presents:
Dancing in the Ashes

"When tears wash the windows of our souls, we can see the light again."

Dancer: Dana Luebke
Choreography: Dana Luebke and Erin Thompson

Dancing in the Ashes is an exploration of the gifts that grieving the loss of someone you love can bring. How holding space for both sorrow and joy can deepen our shared human experience as we are invited to simply witness each other’s vulnerability. I believe when we express our own sorrow and loss and bear witness to the sorrow of others, we strengthen connections to our humanity and to others, allowing our hearts to begin heal and attain a sense of peace.

SHOWS

September 13 & 14 at 7:30 pm
