Wilson's concert juxtaposes narrative sketches of influential women with choreographic interpretations of their spirit and vision. Dancers performing solos and duets and in small ensemble pieces are balanced by larger, celebratory ensemble works. Composite sketches of the creative spirit in different relationships across disciplines and through time will be presented.

The women profiled include Hildegard of Bingen, Marie Curie, Loie Fuller, Frida Kahlo, Barbara McClintock, Ayn Rand, Georgia O'Keefe, Isabelle Allende, Elizabeth Bishop and Virginia Woolf.
