About
Dark Night is a multi-faceted project inviting participants to encounter, reflect on, and honor the choice to endure dark nights of the soul.
Centered around a live 12-hour solo improvised tap dance performance, the award-winning creative team draws inspiration from St. John of the Cross's Dark Night of the Soul.
Emanating from this physical feat, Dark Night offers a series of creative invitations for participants to explore their own relationship to the dark night.
