Lineage celebrates the 20th anniversary of Healing Blue with powerful true stories of women navigating life during and after cancer, told through movement and spoken word.
By Melanie Hooks
Lineage once again collaborates with the Living Beauty Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women with cancer. Clients of the foundation are featured as storytellers in Healing Blue.
Since 2005, Pasadena’s Lineage Dance Company has presented Healing Blue to raise awareness and support for breast cancer centers across the country. The production shares the true stories of women facing cancer, their struggles, resilience, and triumphs. These narratives form the emotional backbone of the evening, exploring the touching, profound, and sometimes even humorous realities of living with a life-threatening illness. Each year, Lineage brings new women’s stories to the stage, along with original choreography inspired by their words.
Choreography by Hilary Thomas. Featuring performances by Nola Gibson, Caterina Mercante, Ericalynn Priolo, Hilary Thomas, Teya Wolvington, and Meghann Zenor. Approximate runtime: 70 minutes.
Tickets: $30 general, $20 student/senior. Available here.
Age recommendation: Due to mature themes surrounding cancer and the inclusion of tasteful post-surgery images of breast cancer survivors, parental discretion is advised when considering attendance with children.
