Discussion follows. Refreshments. Donations appreciated for the ongoing work of peace and justice.
It seems impossible, but after losing a leg to cancer, accomplished dancer Homer Avila returns to the stage without crutches performing a duet with Andrea Flores choreographed by Alonzo
King. Solo or intertwined, Homer collaborates in his now "imperfect body" and his "one-leggedness" turns into transcendent beauty.
Discussion to follow with Karina Epperlein who will have just returned from the Montreal Film Festival for Art. Karina is a native of Germany and has worked in Europe, and the U.S. for the past thirty years as a filmmaker, theater artist, and teacher. The award-winning "Phoenix Dance" has screened at more than 50 film festivals. Not to be missed!
