If nothing else, Ruedi Gerber’s celebratory portrait of Anna Halprin--a postmodern-dance pioneer and Gerber’s former teacher--is a fascinating testimonial to the healing, age-defying powers of both her art and artistry.

What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Dance aficionados are the most obvious audience for this stirring chronicle, but anyone should to be able to find inspiration in Halprin's strikingly open-minded outlook.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Packed with illuminating interviews and lyrical movement, Breath Made Visible portrays a woman with angels in her feet and innovation in her blood. Long may she rock.
Boxoffice Magazine by Mark Keizer
The film’s warmth and heart comes from introducing us to someone born to do exactly what she’s doing.
The main attraction is little-seen archival footage going back 50 years, including scenes from the 1960s "Parades and Changes," with artful nudity that was praised in Europe but brought threats of arrest in New York.
