Inspired by its spirals, Molly, Shepsi & Shana join together to create “Fern,” a gorgeous evening of dance, circus, music, clowning, and fun. Molly Gawler, former principal dancer with the world renowned dance troupe Pilobulus, brings to life a colorful collection of dances that embraces the wide variety of her abilities from modern dance, ballet, circus and mime, carrying the audience from laughter to tears. All the dances in the show are original choreography by Shana and Molly. Shana is a dancer who seems larger than life on stage because of her spirit reaching far beyond her body. Accompanying the dancers will be the magical Shepsi holding the musical threads together with stellar pieces on piano, original songs, and reggae style guitar beats. The music-scape ranges from Bach, Arvo Pärt, Work Songs, & traditional fiddle tunes. This unique collaboration promises to transport across cultures and genres with humorous, poignant, and fabulously unexpected offerings that will surely delight an audience of all ages.
