Bookshop Interview with Author Cynthia Moore, Episode #244
Author Cynthia Moore discusses her new book, Dancing on Coals: A Memoir of an Overperformer, which tells the story of her life thus far in two parts. The first is a twenty-year journey in experimental theater. She spent those 20 years traveling, performing, creating her own theatrical pieces, and literally throwing herself against walls. The second part of her story is her pivot to obtain her master’s degree in clinical psychology and spend the next twenty years working as a mental health counselor. Cynthia went from living a performative and physically expressive life to one of calm, introspective reflection. She discusses her writing journey, what lead her to pivot from performing to counseling, and the meaning behind her title, Dancing on Coals.
