Fabricating Reverence, a new performance art piece choreographed and danced by Myra Vincenza, is a collective reflection on loss and grief. Part vigil, part performance, the experience takes place at Lake Johnson Park that begins with a reflective walk (about half a mile) that starts at the Thomas G. Crowder Woodland Center and ends at the Waterfront Center.
At the Waterfront Center, the pedestrian bridge becomes a viewing area where one can cast their eyes to the dock that has become a stage. Here, the performance unfolds as a journey of movement qualities that are just as slow and methodical as they are rhythmic and spacious, with vocal harmonies by Kristi Ae Boykin and Darian Moore leading, following, and disrupting with seamless grace.

About Myra Vincenza
Myra Vincenza is a dancer, creative director and producer based in Durham, North Carolina. After more than a decade of placing her arts management career ahead of her creative practice, she has been slowly rekindling and redefining her movement and choreographic style. This has developed into a quality that is at once fluid and precise – it is constantly following the thread of breath. Her professional dance training in ballet, modern dance, Capoeira (Angola) and West African dance began in the early 2000s in Asheville, NC, and continued at the American Dance Festival, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and included time spent studying in Brazil. She received her B.A. in Dance Studies from UNC-Greensboro in 2007.
