Rites of Passage consolidates social ties establishes roles and gives a sense of purpose and placement into adulthood/or elder hood . By creating movement that connects to each other on an emotional and mental level we are able to add value and essentially trust to the dance . This dance experience , plays homage to the unique developmental stages in women’s and men’s lives from girlhood /boyhood through elder hood.
In the desire to celebrate and value these life stages that too often pass unceremoniously, or in dread, the dance of the “rites of passages” composes our personal stories from the lives of participating dance participants. Rites of Passage is an opening for the baby boomers to leave a legacy so future generations can look forward to to second half of their lives with enthusiasm and appreciation for growing older . And it’s an opportunity for the younger generations to draw on the wisdom of their elders and to gain the competencies and understanding they need including the ability to collaborate with people ages in doing what needs to be done in this increasingly complex world.
