About the Ballets
Mo(u)rning | Choreography by Julianna Rubio Slager
Grief is inescapable. Every culture has different rituals to process grief, yet a strand of shared humanity exists in the ebb and flow of grief. We can turn away from the five stages of grief, shield ourselves from the pain of a lost future, but we find that when we face our suffering, the darkest of night can give way to the warmth of morning.
Mercy | Choreography by Julianna Rubio Slager
In times of trouble, we find our strength in God. When we fall short, we rejoice that He never fails. Set to the music of Kanye West, Jon Guerra and Lauren Daigle, Mercy will, “sing ‘til the power of the Lord comes down.”
