ABOUT THE EVENT
The Energy Within
Choreographer: Avital Dresin
Exploring the pulse of the 7 Chakras, the centers of power in the human body, The Energy Within reveals the different rhythms of our energy. This piece illustrates the inner landscape of the self by uniting the physical and emotional through movement.
Run Time: 23 minutes
Cradle to Grave
Choreographer: C Macko
Cradle to Grave is a satirical lecture about environmental dance set in a climate future, no less dystopian than popular depictions, but far more mundane. Through a live lecturer, comedic faux interviews, and three original dance pieces, Cradle to Grave explores themes of hypocrisy, anxiety, regret, and guilt and investigates the impact of our environmental advocacy and art making practices.
Run Time: 29 minutes
Delta Blue
Choreographer: Zoe Cushman Walders
The pockets of ocean that reside in each of us drive Delta Blue. Sweeping and settling, the work explores the constant relational, cumulative, depositing and conflating nature of watery relations.
Run Time: 19 minutes
