    Summary note
    Based on Shaker ritual, The Shakers weaves Humphrey's fascination with the sect with her interest in formal dance composition. The dance portrays the shaking off of sin by celibate members who achieve a state of religious ecstasy. This program features performance excerpts from The Shakers inter-cut with workshop footage and commentary.
