MYTHS OF LOVE DANCE with MARGE ENRIQUEZ at Power Mac Center Spotlight

“Myths of Love” is a dance-theater event  that tackles our notion of romance. Based on the book, “Seven Myths About Love…Actually” by British author Mike George, it talks about why it seems to challenging to get a hold of genuine love.  For so long,  we equated love as approval and assumed that love and happiness were found in relationships, acquisitions and even places. However, the satisfaction was fleeting and the disillusionment was bound to happen. We recognize they are blind alleys. George says you don’t have to seek love anywhere as it is already found in our own heart.
