Moving Memories: Representing the Holocaust and Survivor Stories Through Dance
Join dance historian Dr. Rebecca Rossen in dialogue with Stephen Mills, Ballet Austin’s Sarah & Ernest Butler Family Fund Artistic Director, whose critically-acclaimed ballet, Light / The Holocaust and Humanity Project, will be restaged March 31 – April 2 at the Long Center.
Dr. Rossen will begin the session by discussing what she terms “testimony dance,” dance performances based on the oral histories of Holocaust survivors that archive survivor stories while situating audience members as witnesses, challenging viewers to not be complacent if we truly mean “never again.” The session will conclude with a discussion between Rossen and Mills about the process of making Light / The Holocaust and Humanity Project and its impact.
