Saltmarsh Dance debuts Obstacles, a ballet that explores human endurance and the way we approach as well as conquer barriers and hurdles that transpire through life. Using a combination of movement and visual production, Obstacles guides the viewer through a journey of struggle, compassion and growth.
A dedication to a beloved dance teacher and mentor Ethel Winter, Obstacles will be performed at the Martha Graham Studio Theatre, where Suzanne Saltmarsh began her initial training and study in contemporary dance in 1985. Suzanne harnesses the talent of six former students, all graduates of Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, who have continued to flourish in their dance careers.
