About the full length show of In Search of a Goddess: Ruth St. Denis (1878-1968), while on tour with The Follies in the early 1900's, saw a poster advertising "Egyptian Deities" and became fascinated with the advertisement’s central image - The Goddess Isis and Ancient Egypt. This moment of inspiration began her quest in search of the Goddess. A visionary, Miss Ruth spent her career exploring - through dance and theater - female figures of divinity from many cultures. Her popular and entertaining performances were powerful symbols of feminine strength and world unity and peace - a message that is especially relevant today. In Search of a Goddess based on Miss Ruth's work, character, creativity and humor, tells the story of her early inspirations with partner in plans and pranks, best friend Patsy, that lead to her signature works represented in this production choreographed by Dalia Carella. These works include Kuan Yin (White Jade), Nautch, Salome, Oulid Nayli, Cobra and Egypta. The essence of the ingenious Ms. Ruth is recaptured and danced by Dalia Carella and joined by her Collective.
