  Restless Dance Theatre Program 'Exposed' - reads, in part “Most of us are free to make choices about what parts of our life we keep private and what is public. But for some, this choice Is often not so straight forward We need to rely on others, sometimes strangers to help us with moments in life that you might take for granted And if we are lucky, we win have people around us who we trust. Trust is built slowly over time, relinquishing ourselves to the hands of others. With our backs to !he wall creating edges and boundaries, we build a community around us to keep our fragility protected is when we feel safe enough to let our guards down, we can show the little pieces of ourselves that are our most personal To be brave, yet vulnerable, is when we feel safe and not exposed.”
