Check out my friend Amanda Miller's One Breath, Then Another performance at Dixon Place March 9th at 7:30pm. One Breath, Then Another: An Interactive Solo Show chronicles Amanda Miller's month long experience studying yoga on an ashram in India. The show depicts Amanda's quest for healing and empowerment to avoid destroying herself like her father. Practices in her training conjure memories of her father's lung cancer and death, in addition to her own struggles with mental health. As she trains to become a yoga teacher, she reflects deeply on mortality and the workings of her mind, learning to let go and surrender to the present moment. Amanda plays many characters in this piece, including herself, her father, a friend and the elderly ashram leader, Purnima. Interactive elements include breathing exercises, chanting, yoga poses, and meditation.
