Movement One: The Event/Performance begins… We are invoking access to the inner world, engaging in images, poetry, ritual, and dance. The entire theatre space itself is an entry way, a portal into an underworld. There are “stations” set up throughout the entire theatre space. Entering is joining. You are immediately engulfed in the experience. Each “station” is independent yet connected by our theme. Witness the Poets in action. Walk with the Dancers. Move throughout the space. Spontaneously and intermittently freeze in the rapture of each moment. Smell the air, open your heart and turn off your mind. Melt baby melt…

Movement Two: The Journey Continues… We are summoned to our seats. The wild, witty and disturbing play “The White Whore and The Bit Player” captures our attention at center stage. We focus on this play about one woman, before and after she made it. It takes place in the room of a washed up image (like Monroe or Harlow) in a sanitarium run by the Franciscans. Spiritually she imagines herself to be a nun while physically she is the “whore” the world saw. In the seconds before she dies, a suicide by strangulation on her wall cross, her life flashes by. Once she knows she is going to die her reaction is– to live.

Movement Three: The Journey Continues Onward… What happens to the woman in the play? We can say this… the journey is not over yet. We invoke the power of ritual. There is more dance. There is more music. There is more song. There is more poetry. But why? Join us and find out!

Dance and movement choreographed by Missy Pfohl Smith, Founder and Artistic Director of Biodance.
