If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride
“Personal and public, private and profound, humorous and sad, sober and enlightening.”
If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride is a multi-disciplinary community-based dance theater work in which people remember, explore, and question pivotal moments of change in their lives.
New video portraits can be created specifically with/for your community as part of a residency project (see Video Works).
