bodies of water touches on the fluid relationship between the body and the surrounding waters of Wisconsin’s south shore. This site-responsive performance flows through ideas of transformation, presence and the importance of what it means to be water.
"I was awe struck when sitting on the beach on a Sunday morning watching bodies of water. The performance was a caliber I would expect to see in San Francisco or New York City. As with all great works of art, it implanted a feeling of joy that stayed with me a long time afterwards.” -Sara M, audience member

(m)omentum: wrapping the gutscape

(m)omentum: wrapping the gutscape moves through ideas of what it means to ingest, transform, and manifest the world around us. How and where do we find potential spaces for expansion, release, and coming together? We invite you to consider how the workings of the gut are analogous with the workings of the environments and systems we navigate daily, and the role they play in our integration with the spaces we inhabit. If the gut holds more nerve cells than the spinal cord; what does that tell us about our "gut feelings"?

siteSee
August-October 2020
siteSee is a multi-location performance project investigating the synchronicity of the somatic body, outdoor space and audience choice of location. Performers explore themes of relationship, awakening and what it means to be a human animal in a site chosen by the viewer.
"As the dancers emerged from their oneness with the trees, the spaces between came alive with tension, rain pattering, earth thumping, synchronous and individual celebration!...To be able to be close, to be able to follow the dancers as they moved, was a gift. I left feeling my spirit lifted, like I was part of something magical. " --Vicky Ramsay, audience and photographer
