The dance will last about an hour. There is no late seating.
Ode to the Living Tree and the Conference of Birds is a dance between improvisation and composition, containing a solo and a trio presented back-to-back with a “fold” in the middle. Dancers and a musician drift between presence and remembering, exploring branching compositions and transposing sound into movement.
Elise Cowin and Josh Hoglund have made this performance with a handful of amazing artist friends and collaborators: Zach Nicol, Jessica Ray and Bryan Saner all created movement and dance in this piece. Michael Zerang will be making live sound. Christine Shallenberg has done both lighting and costumes.
