Liz Lerman is the founding artistic director of Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, a professional company of dance artists that has been creating, performing, teaching and engaging people in making art since 1976 throughout the United States and abroad. The Dance Exchange pursues a broad definition of dance as a multi-disciplinary art form, and throughout its programs makes meaningful connections between people and art. Groundbreaking new dance works are performed by the cross-generational company, while classes, workshops and institutes are offered for dancers as well as for people who have never danced before. Local and national projects engage individuals and communities in making and performing dances. The title of this lecture is, "Walking the Thin Border: Art and Faith."
