ZiRu Dance, led by Philein Wang, will collaborate with One Life Counseling (One Life) to conduct research, create and lead a series of movement classes, and choreograph a new body of dance work exploring Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dancers from ZiRu Dance and therapists at One Life will engage in a year-long research process in which ZiRu Dance teaches movement therapy dance classes to One Life patients as a supplement to their treatment. From this effort, ZiRu Dance will build a movement vocabulary for a new dance work that will follow the story of visual artist Areta Wang, who suffers from PTSD and who will be a key collaborator on the project.
