Dance in the presence of Spirit.
Marian Oliker has writen and is performing this one-woman show at the Actor's Theater (1001 Center St., Santa Cruz) Oct 13th, 14th, 20th and 21st (8:00 p.m.). I was honored to see the dress rehersal tonight and can highly recomend that you attend this amazing and dynamic performance about a woman from Senegal who falls in love with ballet and a woman from America who falls in love with West African dance. The personal chord this struck was the question I've asked myself in the past; "what business have I to study, practice and love a dance that borrows from middle-eastern cultures and places far away from my home and origin?". Marian Oliker answers this question with amazing profundity. It is my birthright because it is what calls to me and makes me feel free. If you are blessed to live in Santa Cruz, or happen to be visiting, please do not miss this performance. - julie , posted 10/12/06
