SideStream Studio Presents a Night of Dance and Connection

Brattleboro, VT – SideStream Studio is producing a dance performance with local

choreographers and dancers focusing on the theme of connection and disconnection. The

show, entitled “Connecting through Disconnection,” will take place Saturday, March 11 th , at 7

pm - followed by refreshments and a lively conversation about the power of art society.

These dance pieces will investigate the human need for connection not only to each other, but

to the planet, to the universe, and to the spiritual realm. The medicine of connection is the

salve that heals the wounds created by a divisive society. When we feel separated from others,

it is easier to judge, condemn, shame. When we connect through empathy, compassion,

conversation, understanding, we then stand in the beauty of the collective consciousness. Yet

to know what it is to be truly connected; we also must embrace the silhouette of disconnection.

All things are also their opposite. Disconnection is entwined with journey of the ego. The need

to feel like a separate individual is a crucial part of our human experience that is worthy of

generous exploration.

SideStream studio is creative arts venue designed to provide a space to rediscover your wild

side. They are committed to bringing a vibe that facilitates an energy of authentic expression

and the freedom to be your radical self. Co-owners Toni Nagy and Leanne Horvath are

passionate about forming an atmosphere that challenges convention, embraces creativity,

dances with shadows, and plays in the mud of genuine joy.

Toni Nagy, comedian/performance artist/dancer says about the show, “I am always so

impressed and inspired by the level of talent in our beautiful area. The level of artistry and the

emotional depth of our community brings me to tears. We are beyond delighted to create

opportunities for the magical members of this glorious land to express themselves and dive

deep into their endless well of potential.” Leanne Horvath, yogi/tantric practitioner, echoes

Toni’s sentiments and adds, “The compelling nature of dance is giving a universal voice to the

complex messages that can’t be explained by the confines of language. There is deep wisdom

that exists in the body’s expression – the compelling and the complicated can be made simple

by bypassing the brain’s need to explain, and allowing the heart to just feel.”
