As stationary art objects and as moving sculpture in her performances, these forms are an invitation to a meditative space, where time slows down and we find ourselves quietly contemplating life’s mysteries.”  Performance tickets are: $15 for members in advance; $20 in advance; $10 children; $25 at the door (if available).
