Directions

In SACRED MONSTERS, dancing is the addiction in a Dancers Anonymous support group, and all are transformed. In the tradition of documentary theater, SACRED MONSTERS began as interviews, then, in collaboration with the playwright and directors, seven dancers rewrote their experiences of mentorship, injury, isolation, impoverishment, and love in movement and dialogue unifying medium and message.
