Mothering & Mourning
Megan Flynn & Teresa VanDenend Sorge
Troy, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and Cincinnati, OH
Dances of mothering and mourning, because aren’t we all?
An evening of experimental dance, dedicated to the absurdity of caregiving and the mother-like folks unfazed by the mess. Sandwiched between caring for aging parents and young children; harvesting eggs due to a cancer diagnosis; and birthing creative ideas without an epidural. Mothering and Mourning – aren’t we all?
