We speak with members of the Happendance Company of Okemos ahead of a performance this weekend and learn about translating the experience of PTSD into dance.

At the intersection of Hagadorn and Jolly stands a big red barn which has turned into a bit of an artist colony.

It’s there that Current State’s Jamie Paisley visited the Happendance company ahead of their performance this weekend at LCC.
