Thinking Dance

"The performer, Marc Brew, was seen laying, sitting, or using his wheelchair on a wooden path in a natural setting. He felt and interacted with water, light, and air in a way that can only be described as tender, employing elegant lines and small, gentle gestures of the hands to discover the elements of place. I was really stunned by this work’s gentle spirit."
