Sun.Ergos, a Company of Theatre and Dance presents:
Dancing in the Ashes
When tears wash the windows of our souls, we can see the light again.
Dancer: Dana Luebke
Choreography: Dana Luebke and Erin Thompson
Dancing in the Ashes is an exploration of the gifts that grieving the loss of someone you love can bring. How holding space for both sorrow and joy can deepen our shared human experience as we are invited to simply witness each other’s vulnerability. I believe when we express our own sorrow and loss and bear witness to the sorrow of others, we strengthen connections to our humanity and to others, allowing our hearts to begin heal and attain a sense of peace.

Forever Is Now

Grab your adventure buddies and join us at the cSPACE studio for a screening of Forever Is Now.
Tickets $20 in advance, $25 day of show.
The name “Forever Is Now” comes from the writings of poet Lyman Hafen. If the history of the earth were to be written into a 1000-page book, our time here would barely take up a single letter. And yet, the significance of what we do now will be felt long into forever.
This film follows ten people who are Zion National Park’s keepers and caretakers. At a time of increasing tension between recreation and environmental impact, the film follows a path to the future through character stories that are personal, complex, and compelling. Shot in all four seasons across fourteen successive months, the film captures Zion like it’s never been seen before—instilling a sense of awe and ownership for public lands today, tomorrow, and forever.
