Sacred Body
Sacred Sensuous II
Sacred Art, Music And Dance Performance To Benefit NM Young Adults
Benefit Event Friday, November 14, 2014, 7:30pm
Lensic Performing Arts Center, Santa Fe, NM
New Mexico Dance Coalition is planning a benefit event to create a Young Adult Scholarship Program for Healing Movement Arts to support young adults in New Mexico dealing with various emotional and psychological distresses and traumas. This program will provide access to therapeutic movement disciplines offered by local professionals and existing classes to empower a participant’s sense of well-being and their ability to connect deeper into the foundation of who they are.
The theme of the benefit event is “Sacred Body” which will be expressed through a Healing Sacred Music and Dance Performance with a diverse cast of renowned local dancers and musicians and the artistic direction of Adam McKinney of the NM School for the Arts, Julie Brette Adams of One Woman Dancing and Tess Yong of Sacred Shamanic Dance as well as an Art Exhibition of works by local artists for sale. The Lensic has offered its facilities to this project as a community service event and we are seeking use of the large corridor adjacent to the theater for exhibition space. A pre-show VIP Dinner at a nearby restaurant and a post-performance Dance Celebration around the corner at the Palace Restaurant are also being planned.
