A choreographic and sonic practice calling to familial and terrestrial histories of place, specifically midwestern grassland. Working with durational scores, deep prairie root systems, tectonic shifts of grief, and absence as landmark, performers stay in the space between arrival and departure. They catch and call to each other in moments informed by land time, sky and memory of place. The work calls to a universal expansiveness that we are all experiencing, whether we are awake to it or not.
Made possible through fellowships at MacDowell, Volland, and Ucross Foundations, residency time at the Museum of Loss and Renewal/Orkney Islands and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
