Interwoven Echoes is a contemporary dance work representing how movement mirrors the delicate threads that bind us to the natural world. From the swaying of the trees to the swelling and ebbing of the tide, the peice explores nature's parallels to human relationships and complexities. People coming in and out of a central space, how people seem to weave seamlessly through one’s life and the ability to cope with dynamic shifts, adapting to different energies. The dancers create shapes that form, twist and stretch, representing the attempt to communicate with each other, at times struggling to achieve harmony. The live sound score features the voices of the dancers to create an intimate, interpersonal environment.
The performance took place on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024 at 3pm at the Deering Estate Courtyard.
