STORIES/GRACEFUL PASSAGES
CHOREOGRAPHED AND PERFORMED BY SUZANNE GRACE
A collection of meditative, eloquent, thought provoking solo dances set
to
the moving music of award-winning composer Gary Malkin and Michael
Stillwater. These pieces are movement reflections of the dramatic readings
from the "Graceful Passages" CD. They invite us to ponder the
eternal
questions of living, dying and the continuity of spirit.
The solos have been performed
to critical acclaim at Religious Science,
Unity and Unitarian Churches throughout California, the Healing Journeys
Conference in Seattle, Sacramento, and Greenville SC, the San Francisco
End
of Life Coalition, the UCRS conference at Asilomar, and the International
Science of Mind conference in Ukraine.
