Dancing on Coals: A Memoir of an Overperformer

Cynthia Moore

5.00/5 (12 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

An award-winning playwright’s story of her madcap race to find fame or enlightenment, whichever comes first— perfect for fans of Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone.

In Dancing on Coals, Cynthia Moore describes a multi-decade, harebrained search for love in all the wrong places, starting when her narcissistic mother abandons her to a Swiss finishing school. Desperately seeking belonging, she leapfrogs from a polyamorous commune into a high-octane all-male performance group, dancing as if her life depends on it. When she finally quits the theater, earns a master's degree in psychology and develops her own therapeutic approach, she is able to heal herself and find the true belonging and peace she longs for.

At times humorous and self-deprecating, at times poignant and heartbreaking, this is the story of one woman’s path from abandonment to wholeness and authenticity.
