I’m sorry for your loss (working title) is a multi-dimensional contemporary dance work that examines grief and how it shows up in the body, reflects on care for self and others, and explores various cultural views of life and death.
Content advisory: This performance will include expressions and conversations of grief, loss, and death.

Audience members are invited (not required) to bring a photo of an ancestor/loved one or bring an offering to an ancestral altar in the space. Registration is required. This intimate event has very limited seating. Please register on Eventbrite to secure your seat and contact us if your plans change.

Offerings to the ancestral altar will be returned to the audience at the conclusion of the event. A photographer/videographer will be present. By attending, you are consenting to possibly be included in documentation that may be used for future marketing purposes.
