On the shortest day of the year- the winter Solstice in a 5000-year-old prehistoric chamber in Ireland a soul is hanging on a from the ceiling on a thin silver cord, beneath buried in the ground is a beating heart. 13,000 years ago, in Mexico lay the bones of 16-year-old girl who died lost in a deep cave looking for water. The rising sun on the Winter Solstice enters to the back of the Irish chamber and the Mexican cave and the light in the darkness bringing the possibility of two spirits finding their way. These are images from a new Brittle Sisters dance. A dance that began in the new year from my work in a workshop by Marissa Niederhauser called Dance Spell.

<a href=”https://helenthorsendances.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/pict0280.jpg”>Oh how the midnight turns 5 am
with it’s small heartaches and cigarettes
pouring out the drunks
What a life- hey Al
the adventures and still at the end
the stillness of your breath wispering you home
