Description:
Sarah Crowell and Keith Hennessey are both dancers, teachers, and activists in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have known each other for nearly 30 years. But they’ve never collaborated or connected deeply, until now. The Space Between Us is a radical experiment in the power of bearing witness, inviting vulnerability, and sharing movement, in a time of social distancing and racial reckoning.
