A young foster child discovers a magic easel that brings paintings to life and learns the true meaning of family and home. What if art could come alive and guide you home? Twelve-year-old foster child Nova longs to find her one true home.

Following the magic, Nova stumbles upon an underground cellar that houses a startling secret. She's forced to choose: escape to a prior foster home, or mend her relationship with Mr. Russell.

This anthology negotiates the influential, yet silent educational presence of spiritualties within the field of somatic movement dance education internationally. The expressive and integral nature of spiritual experience remains academically undefined and peripheral to our understanding of creative practice. Lack of theoretical rigor, as well as a lack of a substantive definitional and methodological competency, has resulted in spirituality being marginalized. To date, important questions about how diverse spiritualities shape professional practice in the somatic movement and dance arts remain unanswered. This cutting-edge collection fills that void, providing greater creative and discursive clarity.
