Lincoln Theater presents an evening of storytelling and dance from Korinn Mowrey. During “A Dancer’s Journey to Live,” Mowrey unravels her story of overcoming addiction to find success. Mowrey’s focus is on the art of manifestation as she takes audience members through the time in her life when she was a professional dancer and also when she was struggling with anorexia nervosa. Through spoken word, movement and laughter, Mowrey has found a way to let her light shine.
