This was an enthralling evocative, poetic performance. It had an other worldy feel with so much depth, and the stunning location was really magical!

Christina is a wonderful performer who takes us through an incredible , emotive and powerful journey....

Magical, elegant and spirited. This is a powerful site specific dance performance. It puts a spotlight on life, death, loss and the deep loves of our lives with such kindness and celebration. Christina Evans is enchanting! All the cells in her body radiate the special connection she has to the souls of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The many tableaux created dance in my mind days later. A true joy to watch!
