Our new site-specific work addressing water, its nature and our interactions with and reliance upon it, will be presented during the culminating events of the Harbor Lore Festival, a Brooklyn Arts Council sponsored event exploring the role of water in artistic traditions. The performance will begin at the Tobacco Warehouse and travel through the park to end at Pebble Beach. This performance is also part of Global Water Dances Day. For the final section, we invite audience members to join us in a simple movement ritual that is performed at all Global Water Dances performances world wide, occurring here at Pebble Beach. Live music is by Grace Drums. Read more about the work and our process creating it here.

Poetry in Motion videos now available
View clips of From Behind the Caravan: Songs of Hâfez, a featured work of Poetry in Motion. Inspired by and utilizing the writing of 14th Century Sufi poet Hâfez, in which he longs for truth, reason, kindness and love in the ghazals, lyric poems, utilized in this work, the choreography also reflects the rich metaphors of fire, breath, and wind found in the writing. The music is composed by Abbie Betinis, a McKnight fellow named by NPR as a top composer under 40, is sung in Farsi and contains musical influences from Persia and Greece.
DVD’s include the full works of Be Like the Bird, From Behind the Caravan: Songs of Hâfez, Rules and Regulations, Let the Beauty We Love, Will the Circle and more. Read more about Poetry in Motion here.
