Overview

Currents is a gripping dance solo inspired by the complex nature of water as it serves as both an essential resource for life as well as a looming threat of destruction. What does it mean to tread water, fight for survival, while also seeking vitality, solace, and renewal in a force that can both sustain and overwhelm us? Currents is a haunting journey that reflects the delicate balance between resilience and vulnerability, inviting witnesses to experience one woman’s connection to life and the natural world.
