Learn more about ‘Exhale’:
‘Exhale’ is an evening-length collection of dance works being presented in the Midwestern United States by CPR Dance: Inhale Movement. Cities of premiere include Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Benton Harbor. The concert will present work by Executive Artistic Director Carolyn Pampalone Rabbers, Dennis Davis, Theresa Graziano, and Lauren Mudry.
Each piece of ‘Exhale’ is carefully crafted as a representation of exhaling, releasing, or letting go. All are of their own unique nature but come together under this common theme. Some of the works presented include Facet: An Inundated Drip, a group work centered around discovering resilience and recovery during challenging times, INtightSPACES, a duet that explores the nuances of restriction and freedom in complex relationships with dynamically attuned partnerwork, They Gathered, a group work that delves deep into the implications of femininity, while thoughtfully examining interconnected themes like birth and death, and Newgrass Outlands, a new piece set to the rhythms of bluegrass music, designed to captivate and entertain the audience.
We would love to meet you in person at our performances! Company members Dennis Davis, Wolfgang Goluska, Emily Hill, Abby Marchesseault, Libby McKenzie, Paige Mulick, and Megan Vernier are dazzling in their spectacular physicality feats throughout this season's concert.

Original art, original music, and original choreography mark this event as the first of its kind at The Acorn. The colorful, dynamic, nature-based imagery of Pam Kirkham’s paintings as a backdrop is combined with live dance from Carolyn Pampalone Rabber’s CPR Dance: Inhale Movement’s stunning choreography, and tantalizing music by Silver Rain brings good vibes your way, along with segments of Pam’s eclectic vocals alongside guitarist, Mitch Gregory, and segments of energetic dance numbers
The colorful, dynamic, nature-based imagery of Pam Kirkham’s paintings as a backdrop, is combined with an exquisite live dance performance by Carolyn Pampalone Rabber’s, moving to the tantalizing sounds of music composed by Silver Rain (Mitch Gregory & Debra Sawyer), brings good vibes your way! Segments of Pam’s eclectic vocals alongside guitarist, Steve Champagne, and segments of energetic solo and several dance works by CPR Dance: Inhale Movement will be interspersed throughout the event.
The common thread throughout all of my paintings and vocal performances is a desire to help people escape from their life struggles, especially those dealing with a serious illness. You can either fight against your challenges and be miserable, or you can choose to escape momentarily, to re-charge your soul. Whether that is through the Fight or FIight series or the Water, Altitude, & Atmosphere series, or a song you hear me sing, my goal is to put you in a positive state of mind. I want you to transcend (if only for a short time) to a more optimistic frame of mind. Living in many diverse places including New Mexico, Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Michigan, has given me a deep understanding of how other cultures revere nature and why. As the world becomes more technologically advanced, we should never forget that our spirits come from, and are grounded in, nature. I want you to use my art and music to heal yourself from the inside out in a positive and spiritual way. – Pamela Kirkham
