~ Lynda Raino~

"What I want my art to do is very simple. Be understood. That is all.
I want my audience to be touched by the stories I tell in my dances. They have always been stories. I have never done abstractions or concepts. My pieces have always been stories of life. Either I witnessed it, or it is my experience, and this gets re lived as a dance.
Life is so rich and full and always has stories ready to be told and shared."

Belonging Artist Highlight! Lynda Raino describes her work-
