Sacred Shadow
Directed by Audrey Simes, this work is inspired by the tenuous line between life and death. It explores the sacred nature of the shadows that haunt us and light that uplifts our spirits. Together we can overcome and recognize the balance between the positive and negative forces of life. This work was created in collaboration with Hannah Price, Kevin Hamilton, and Mariah Hamilton with support from Karl Livingston, Audrey Crabtree, and Dr. Bill Russell at MRS. MacCORMICK’S YARD.

SHIFTED by Zlatko Ćosić, Eleanor Dubinsky and Laura Ferro
