Jo Kreiter's Flyaway Productions dance company is famous for aerial productions in which dancers rappel and climb as often as they twirl. It's tough, frightening work, not for sissies -- and the company is made up entirely of women. Obviously, they're great role models, and at "Truth Tellers," audiences can see the result of an intense collaboration between activist-minded teenage girls and the strong women of Flyaway.
