Synopsis: The Art of Merging is a story about compromise.  Accompanied by a mélange of musical selections, a septet of women explore what it means to reconcile differences and make changes in the way they relate to others on the road of life.  Dancers twist and navigate through congestion, relationships flourish and disintegrate, and tales of merging are told in snapshot form as the dance sweeps through a spectrum of human interactions.
