Under Big Skies

A site specific music and dance piece; meditating on, and responding to, the landscape of the estuary and the movement of tides. The piece is also a manifestation of the desire to dance again with friends, an act of gratitude for open space to move freely in, and a hopeful gesture for the future. The music that the dancers move to will be streamed via online radio, meaning audience members can be apart in the landscape and tune in (via mobile phone data or a file previously downloaded for free) to listen on headphones while watching the dancing figures in the distance.
