BENNINGTON, VERMONT -- A screening by Susan Slotnick of her documentary,
"Reflections of Our Lives Through Dance," about her prison dance
program. A discussion will follow. Slotnick, a two-time CNN Heroes
nominee and once named Huffington Post’s Greatest Woman of the Day in
honor of Woman’s History Month, has taught modern dance to incarcerated
men and boys for 13 years, under the auspices of Rehabilitation Through The Arts. Slotnick has also taught modern dance to the homeless, people
living with AIDS, and breast cancer survivors. The screening will begin
