Moving Ethos Dance presents:
I'm fine.
Squeaky Wheel Fringe Festival
Cook Theatre at the FSU Center for the Performing Arts
Wednesday, June 5 | 7:00 PM
Saturday, June 8 | 2:30 PM
I'm fine. braves the complexities of grief by challenging patterns forged by generations of escapism, deflection, and bounce back culture. It is the gut punch reminder that grief is part of growth — it hurts, it’s hard, it’s beautiful...it’s even funny. It asks us to find our okay-ness with not being okay. It asks for grace in the face of a lost sense of self. It invites trust in taking the next step. It dances with loss, fear, joy, overstimulation, isolation, and curiosity.
