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.

Calling all Craftivists, Sewists, DIYers, Designers, and Artists!
Come join us for our second Fabric Swap! Our first one was such a fun success, we’ve decided to hold another! We all have fabric that we love but may never use, right? Let’s stir up some new inspirational energy and trade with each other! We will have tables set up outside our studio on September 28th for you to lay down your fabric, and peruse what each other has contributed.
The rules for our first swap are:
* Clean, useable fabrics only
* Be thoughtful about the items you take, and what you will make. Take what inspires you but also leave some for others to be inspired:)
* You are not obligated to take anything with you, but please also be thoughtful about the amount you drop off to us.
* No notions or tools ( we want to keep it simple for our first year to work out any bugs!)
* No clothing
* Bring a bag to tote home your finds
The tables will be out all day from 11am to 4 pm – come chat with fellow fabric enthusiasts! Take in and take home some fabric! We will donate whatever is still with us at the end of the day to local schools.
After you’ve perused the swap, come into the studio and say hi! We will be having a Studio Fabric Sale this same weekend! Looking forward to seeing you all!
