Becoming Emily June 18-20, 2009 Shows at 7:30 p.m. Blackcat Theater in Maplewood www.uppityco.com In collaboration with Artistic Director Joan Lipkin, a talented team of some of the most innovative dancers and choreographers in the St. Louis area has developed original material based on the story of Emily Lyons.  Becoming Emily, tells the story of a nurse whose life was forever changed when the “New Woman, All Women” healthcare clinic where she worked was bombed.  The Becoming Emily creative team not only uses text from Emily and Jeff Lyon’s book Life Has Been a Blast, but to more fully convey this incredible story, select choreographers employ a variety of dance and movement techniques including hip hop, jazz, fusion, folk, modern, dance, tap, Bharathanatyam, ballet and Dunham technique. Additional text has been adapted from waiting room reflections of clients at PreTerm, a family planning clinic in Cleveland.
