꩜ Water Work is an immersive dance perfrormance that draws inspiration from American cultures surrounding water -- from pool decks to beach shores, and the communal rituals tied to leisure, sport, and gathering.
Through a mix of improvised and choreographed movements, Water Work ebbs between organic fluidity and sharp athletic form, while the supporting installation and live music mixing create a dream-like atmosphere, an echo of rippling pulses with an aqua hue.
