Dancing On Water
When I left New York City and moved to Beacon, NY, I immersed myself in nature. Walking along the rivers and streams I had to consider water. After all, Beacon was Pete Seeger’s town and he’d helped clean up the Hudson. I wanted to address this issue of water from multi-perspectives in the community through dance, music and art performance. Dancing on Water was one of four elemental environmental pieces I’d made at Bard College: Dancing on Earth for DAB 2007, Dancing on Air 2006 (student concert), Dancing on Fire DAB 2007.
