Transformation is the only constant.
I would call it the aura of longing. It intrigues me and unites the disparate players in my analyses of the events of the past 500 years and in my understanding of the art that was and continues to be created from that legacy. The creation of beauty or art out of even the greatest of tragedies is in some manner the only way we can bear history. Supported in part by a grant from the National Dance Touring Program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with additional support from the Duke-UNC Program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. We also provide an online order form to order by fax or mail.
