For Heaven’s Sake: A Movement Event Choreographed and Directed by Dawn Lane
The Unicorn Theatre, Berkshire Theatre Festival
October 28 & 29, 8pm | October 30, 2pm
General Seating $20
For Heaven’s Sake takes a look at the commonality of death and dying. With a backdrop of video projections from the Stockbridge cemetery filmed by John Whalan of Black Ice Entertainment, Lane and her dancers provide poignant and by turns humorous peeks at just some of the routes taken to that one common destination. Depicting as the piece develops heaven as an open, inclusive place, one that neatly suggests that dying is sad only for those who are still living.
The cast includes Lorimer Burns, Jane Goodrich, Dawn Lane, Bettina Montano, Susannah Millonzi and members of Community Access to the Arts’ Moving Company.
Celebrating 25 years of choreographic artistry, Lane, renowned choreographer, dancer, educator and program director for Community Access to the Arts, has produced over thirty works including Labels Not Included, Shebang and The Round Pegs Square Whole Project.
