The pioneer avant-garde dancer Anna Halprin knows a thing or two about the circle of life. At 95, she has enriched the lives of people all over the world with her approach to dance as a way to achieve personal and community empowerment—be it for peace, health, life, or death. “I am a cancer survivor.... Cancer is like enlightenment at gunpoint. One must face it and do something.”
