Liz Sexe Dance and Dancers presents an evening of dance inspired by liberty 

Liz Sexe Dance and Dancers presents an evening length performance at Gates of Heaven on Saturday, October 26th at 8 p.m. This dance takes a historical and present day view of liberty.  By looking at the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the Constitution the piece  responds with movement as reflection .  All proceeds from the concert will go to DAIS, an organization that empowers those affected by domestic violence and advocate for social change through support, education, and outreach.  Tickets can be purchased for $10 at https://untitledmadison.bpt.me/

Liberty is a powerful idea(l) that is ingrained in the United States’ doctrines and society.  The Preamble states that we are granted these inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  In a time when one groups’ liberty feels threatened by another groups liberty this foundational element of our society feels disrupted and disoriented.  Sexe says, “This piece will put liberty in the center.  I am not searching for answers, but conversation and awareness.”
