LANSDALE, PA – Prepare to embark on a profound journey of healing and understanding at the “The Body Keeps the Score: Dancing with Trauma and Recovery” event. Presented by DanceLink and 365 Foundation Inc., this groundbreaking performance promises to captivate audiences on Friday, May 10th at 7 pm in the 365 Foundation gallery.
Inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s seminal work on trauma, this choreographer/composer collaboration between Sarah Carlson of DanceLink and Vernon J. Mobley brings to life the intricate relationship between trauma, the body, and the path to recovery. Through a compelling blend of movement, music, and text, the performance illuminates the fragmented reality individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often navigate.
Natalie Venezia, Executive Director of 365 Foundation Inc., describes the event as “a transformative experience that challenges us to confront our own traumas to heal and grow.” This performance not only aims to entertain but also to enlighten, offering a unique perspective on how personal healing precedes communal change.
“The Body Keeps the Score” first made its mark in 2018, captivating audiences with its innovative approach to storytelling. The upcoming presentation in Lansdale promises to be no less impactful, providing a space for reflection, understanding, and connection.
Following the gallery performance, attendees are invited to participate in a post-show discussion. This interactive session offers a deeper exploration of the themes presented and fosters a dialogue on community resources available for support and further healing.
