INTENSIVE CARE by Anna Halprin
When dance legend Anna Halprin's husband was in ICU for a month, she coped with her fear of Larry's impending death - and all her accompanying feelings of confusion, pain, tenderness, love and acceptance - by creating this dance. Larry recovered and lived another 10 years. Anna, now 91, is still going strong.
Choreographed and performed by Anna Halprin and members of the Sea Ranch Dance Collective, including G. Hoffman Soto, Lesley Ehrenfeld, and Taira Restar, this performance of INTENSIVE CARE was photographed and filmed at Anna Halprin’s legendary Mountain Home Studio in Marin County, California.
Filmed, photographed and edited by John Veltri and Marguerite Lorimer.
