In memory of Clarin Schwartz, a dear friend of Ice Theatre lost in the World Trade Center
Douglas Webster choreographed a commemorative piece "Departures" to music by Gustav Mahler and performed by the Ice Theatre Ensemble (click here to see video of a performance of this piece on the proscenium stage at the Staller Center for the Arts)
May we be courageous and
know that there is a better place
May we always reach for the hand that will lift us out of our suffering
May we also remember to extend a hand to those who suffer
Let us be compassionate to all souls, for then our wings may open
And perhaps we will fly without fear and ascend in flight with angels
