Is Lyena still performing?
Yes. Lyena’s passion for presenting stirring live performances in dance, theater and performance art has not been defeated. Her creative life is more important to her than ever and several projects are in the works. In May 2003, Lyena offered “The Road to Recovery,” a theatrical sharing of her stories and writings from the first seven months of her recovery effort. It was a powerful afternoon, full of humor, inspiration, triumph and hope. She is currently writing a second show which uses mixed media (such as recorded text, projection, dance and monologue) to juxtapose the harsh, scientific reality of spinal cord injury with the beauty and triumph of the human spirit. Lyena also hopes to return soon to Ziggurat Theatre Ensemble, founded by Lyena and 10 other talented theater artists several years ago.
