About this event
About ECO : ANIMAL : KIN
ECO : ANIMAL : KIN is an interdisciplinary modern dance theatre project that uses recorded sound & text-scape, interdisciplinary collaborative film, live dance, and dance film to create an immersive narrative and visual movement performance which seeks to ask questions and explore realities and histories about our unique relationship as fellow human animals with nature and the environment, other living creatures, time, energy, place, the past/future, social mores and the living earth. Can we live together as kin in our material age? Can community-making and art-making link us back through place, time and energy? Who are we as human animals—and is there another way to be?
This performance is also available as a live stream on Sunday, June 4. Click here for virtual tickets.
