About Shoshanna
My name is Shoshanna Gleich and I am a filmmaker, theater maker, music artist and performer.
My creative potion is flavored with bittersweet humor, joy, tons of love, a sprinkle of shadow and a splash of surprise.
My work blends magical realism, music, movement, healing and transformational storytelling. Through imagination, emotional truth, and bittersweet humor, I invite people to laugh so hard they cry and cry so hard they laugh.
Messages of peace, love and the remembrance of our oneness are woven through the fabric of all my work. Dance serves as both celebration and liberation.
My current projects include:
God’s Giggle—a surreal autobiographical one-woman show performed partly on roller skates—
and
Face to Face with God’s Giggle—a documentary featuring footage from the live performance and the healing and creative journey behind it.
