two dancers reaching arms towards each other on a stage

Chapter 21

In this dance/theatre piece choreographed by Starr Muranko and directed by Yvette Nolan, Chapter 21 explores what happens when a vibrant, active artist comes face to face with a crippling collision of events.  Chapter 21 is a reflection on the days that have come to pass, and the art of becoming.  A new baby boy; Chromosome 21; the big “C” diagnosis, 21 days between treatments, and 21 days to re-pattern beliefs; Courage; Faith; Resilience.
