2%20women.jpg“Interplay in the Spirit” was the name of a sacred dance performed in the Edgerton Park Community Garden as dusk fell on the day of the Summer Solstice. It was part of the “613 Radical Acts of Prayer” that are being performed by the Liz Lerman Company throughout the Arts & Ideas festival.

p(clear). IMG_9563.jpgGroup improvisations were led by choreographer Lisa Laing (the woman standing on the left in photo above) and danced by Mary Barnett, L’Ana Burton, Becky Cline, Karen Josephson, Caitlin Richards and Dorothy Finnigan.
