The Body Keeps The Score: Dancing With Trauma and Recovery Tickets

Immerse yourself in a moving, interdisciplinary performance that transforms trauma into a mediated healing journey. The Body Keeps The Score: Dancing With Trauma and Recovery blends movement, live original score by Vernon J. Mobley, and spoken text to explore resilience inspired by Bessel van der Kolk’s seminal work, The Body Keeps the Score. Choreography by DanceLink founder and artistic director Sarah Carlson, with a live score and sound design that anchors each moment. Since its 2018 premiere at Lehigh Valley IceHouse, the piece has evolved through 2024 Musikfest Café Bethlehem presentations and related community activities. The 2025 tour focuses on high school partnerships across Pennsylvania, supported by a Creative Catalyst grant to bring this important conversation to students and families in intimate, accessible settings.
