Dance Performance/Happening by Kathy Leiner & Co. at Momentum Gallery.

Performance

A multi-media performance created collaboratively by performers and the audience. This movement piece uses choice and chance to explore barriers, vulnerability, and to question how our exposure or anonymity affects our action. Conceived by Kathleen Meyers Leiner and performed in collaboration with dancers Shari Azar, Mikhale Sherrill and with cellist Emmalee Hunnicutt.
