Symbi(rd)osis
A piece that attempts to marry improvised music (based on the language provided in a class with Wiliam Parker) and improvised dance.
What happens when narrative is used to provide structure in the making process and then taken away during performance?
Birds, mothers, blood and women: this piece is heavily inspired by Terry Tempest Williams’ When Women Were Birds.
