Sadie Lehmker – The Forget-Me-Knots The Palladium Creative Fellowship Festival – Night One:

Inspired by personal and familial experiences with Alzheimer’s and dementia, this poignant dance work explores how memory is lost and rediscovered, posing the question: How do we remember, and what changes in the re-remembering?

The evening will open with a performance of Imperfect Joys by Creative Fellowship alumni Helen Hansen French and John C. O’Leary, setting the stage for a night of profound artistry.
