“Bare Feet and Burning Bushes” is an immersive dance theater work exploring those moments in our lives when we face change that creates an inner shift in perspective or identity. These are sacred moments that cause us to reflect on who we are becoming and what we leave behind. Jennifer Mabus and a beautifully diverse group of movement collaborators will take the audience/participants through the beautiful space of Arts Mission Oak Cliff, and we explore these questions of change and identity together.
