Work in Progress: Roots of Loving Us<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some creative works come together quickly, like a spark catching fire. Others take years to take root and grow \u2014 expanding across time and location. Join us as we culminate a creative residency with LA-based activist dance company CONTRA-TIEMPO<\/a> and share excerpts from their newest work in progress. Roots of Loving Us<\/em> is a multi-year community engagement, collaborative research project and performance created by holly johnston of Responsive Body and Ana Mar\u00eda \u00c1lvarez<\/a>, artistic director of CONTRA-TIEMPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the idea of chosen families, the new work uses somatic healing and ancestral technologies of dance, music and imagery to present narratives of adoption, foster care and bioadaptive families. Through community collaborations, such as their work with Music Therapy students at Shenandoah Conservatory; cross-sensory experiences; and innovative production elements, this work is a testament to lives transformed by the choice to love forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is presented by Performing Arts Live in partnership with the Shenandoah Conservatory music therapy program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
