Barbara Lindenberg



Words from the artist:


At Up Darling 4 I will show you two new dances. One is called Crossing and the other is Unbroken. Here are the ingredients I am using to make these dances: my feelings, thoughts about life, dream imagery, memories of personal experiences, inspiration from the collaborators on this show, cool moves, invented symbolism, intuition and love.
