The Dance of Death ...the Danse Macabre... St Vitus' Dance: It's an artistic theme, a creepy historical anecdote, and an allegory that may inspire is to be our best creative selves. In this episode of Creative Happy Hour, host Karena Akhavein, PhD will go over the historical facts behind the Dance of Death and introduce a modern organization using the Dance of Death as a death-positive performance. Next, we'll interview Damon Mahoney, a gifted artist, writer, designer, and ballet dancer who has played Death onstage and who has a unique insight on the subject, while drinking the corpse reviver cocktail. We’ll also be chatting about how to keep dancing or being creative even as we age or become less able bodied, because after all, being creative is a way of keeping death at bay. So grab your drink and get ready to get drunk on the creative possibilities.
