This piece, performed by the dance repertory class, embodies the feelings of the individual during group meetings, such as AA meeting and group therapy type meetings. It\u2019s explores how bare individuals feel when they share their souls to one another in this type of setting.  The piece is centered on five red wooden chairs shaped in the typical therapy half circle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Visions of Piers Plowman\u201d, a choreographed piece by NECC student Ryan Jennings of Andover, is a dance about the seven deadly sins.  In this piece every person represents a different sin, and their movements are an expression of which one they are portraying.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and $3 for children under 12.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information contact Michelle Deane at mdeane@necc.mass.edu or 978-556-3597.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group therapy and the seven deadly sins will take center stage this month when Northern Essex Community College\u2019s Still Point Dancers put on the annual spring performance on Friday, April [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":30898,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
