"The Word"- Stories of Triumph Over Breast Cancer at Mill Ballet School Event Center

The C-Word: Stories of Triumph Over Breast Cancer (May 13, -15) is an original theatrical, healing arts initiative engaging in performances and movement workshops combining dance, music, art, and theater celebrating the lives of 22 breast cancer survivors. It is a song-cycle/ballet musical theatre event conceived staged and choreographed by Mark Roxey with original music and lyrics by songwriting team Robert Maggio and Matthew Hardy. The C-Word is designed to develop audience intellect about cancer by detaching the cultural stigma associated with the disease to encourage compassionate, community involvement and provide a creative outlet for healing through performance and movement workshops. It provides: an outlet for growth, empowerment through education, comfort through holistic movement, and encourages survivors to find their individual voices emboldening them to assist others in self-sufficiency.
