— San Francisco Weekly
Woodstock-based DANCE MONKS blend acrobatics, modern dance and tai chi into a colorful, visually exciting, yet deeply reverential form of contemporary dance. This evening's performance will feature a multi-media installation and performance in celebration of the Mexican Day of the Dead. The performance includes projected images by photographer Sebastian Belaustegui, author of Guardianes del Tiempo (The Guardians of Time).
DANCE MONKS are Rodrigo Esteva a leading Mexican choreographer and Mirah Moriarty, who trained for the US Junior Olympics Gymnastics Team.

Stick around after the Dance Monks performance of "Postcards from Mexico" for a Mexican themed party with traditional home-cooked Mexican delicacies and drink.

Unison's favorite DJ, Johnny Witter will also be providing dance music.
