Wind/Water, Water/Wind

Excerpt from a site-specific piece being shown in FIGMENT on Governor’s Island June 10-12, 2011. Wind/Water, Water/Wind is an interactive contemporary dance piece featuring five women and a minimal set comprised of weathered photos and found objects. The work aims to investigate the process of rearrangement and the relationship between people and their creations and the natural world and its momentous, often mystical forces–like that of a hurricane. The dancers perform movement that ranges from subtle and internal to wild and whirlwind-like as they rediscover themselves, their memories and objects from their lives all in new forms and locations after the unearthing force of the storm has passed.
