Bern and artist Robert Woods have worked together under the imprint of Lines & Faces for over forty years. All three come together in this one-of-a-kind performance “Divining Triptychs: Printmaking, Dance, and Poetry across Millennia.”

Lucinda Weaver grew up dancing in Berkeley, California, with Ruth Hatfield. She studied at UC Berkeley with David Wood and in New York City, where she met Margaret Jenkins who invited her to be a founding member of the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company in San Francisco.

Currently, she is on the guest faculty of the Accademia Teatro Dimitri, a physical theater university in Switzerland.
