Event Details

Shantre Pinkney

Nervous (World Premiere) is a new dance work by Dragons Dance/Erin Yen exploring human interconnectivity and the nervous system’s role in dissociation from the modern world. Created in collaboration with a practicing neurologist and the dancers, Nervous asks, ‘what happens when we turn up sensation and embody the world of our brains?’

 

How do you burn? Reclaiming fire as a regenerative force for rebirth, BURN (Work In Progress) envisions dance as a transformative act of self-immolation. How do we set ablaze inherited legacies of war, forced displacement, and violence passed down through family to create ash for new growth?
