Dancer, choreographer, and educator Marin Leggat Roper discusses her lifelong pursuit of dance as merging point of physicality and faith in this podcast interview that also previews a historic, upcoming event in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is Vision, an evening of dance, to be presented September 24, 2021 at the Capitol Theatre. She describes how the pandemic has affected dance and how dance artists are finely attuned to issues of social upheaval, identity, and the immediacy of current events.Music for the episode is an excerpt from Sydney Ann's Apple, by Nathan Bowen, from a 2007 dance commissioned by Marin with sculptural decor by Valerie Atkisson and performed at the Merce Cunningham Studios in New York City. Support the show (https://www.centerforlatterdaysaintarts.org/donate)
