IN THE PROFESSIONAL ARENA

Wake

Written, Choreographed, and Performed by Cynthia Oliver

Premiered at Performance Space 122 (New York, NY), as part of an evening of work by various artists, 1993

A solo performance of story, dance and song which explored the material which would become Death’s Door, Wake was an autobiographical journey through my family history, mythology, and loss to an arrival and acceptance of life’s mournful lessons.
