Dancing On the Ceiling: Performances by Women of a Certain Age

This unique group of award-winning, nationally, and internationally acclaimed solo dance artists, all women aged 50 and above, defy our expectations of aging and push the proverbial glass ceiling with their indomitable voices. Critic John Schneider of the Milwaukee Shepherd Express wrote: “ [A] fabulous protest by women of stature . . . filling the theater with mature artistry in an unforgettable, quite probably historic concert…”.

The seven originating soloists of this company—Charlotte Adams, Beth Corning, Simone Ferro, Heidi Latsky, Li Chiao-Ping, Debra Loewen, and Dance at Illinois Director Sara Hook are joined by Endalyn Taylor and Dance at Illinois faculty Jennifer Monson and Roxane D’ Orléans Juste for an unforgettable event that includes live music, a claw bathtub, balloons, and the physical, emotional, intellectual, and creative artistry honed over a collective 400 years of experience.
