This film is primarily about the professional life and contributions of Penny Parker Lewis, an early dance therapy author and pioneer. One of the highlights is a series of excerpts from To Move is To Be Alive, created and narrated by her in 1973. This film also contains previously unseen footage from an individual movement therapy session, along with Dr. Lewis' comments on the interaction between herself and the young woman. In addition, there are clips from her last workshop at a conference of the new England Chapter of the American Dance Therapy Association. Reflections by those with whom Dr. Lewis worked further clarify her contributions to dance/movement therapy, as well as to the field of drama therapy. Penny Lewis coped with her fatal illness and untimely death in a creative fashion, one in which her devotion to educating other played a significant role. The film ends with this final courage chapter in a highly productive life.
