Dancing Earth’s Between Underground and Skyworld brings to the stage a compelling story of dynamic young people struggling through the apocalyptic present, with resilience and humor, as they survive the end of one world and dream in a future-world of balance, harmony, connection and renewal. Storytelling takes many forms with this family-friendly narrative with energetic expressive forms becoming poetic and dreamlike, as told through dance, dialogue, song, striking media projections of the southwest, and unforgettable eco-innovative set design, costumes, handheld lanterns and shadow puppets, all created by intercultural collaborators and visionaries of the future.
“We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage as contemporary global peoples,” says Founding Artistic Director, Rulan Tangen. We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.”
Between Underground and Skyworld is a performance experience of our multi-year, multi-dimensional, project of inter-cultural Futurities. We explore the remembering of ancestral cultural perspectives as re-creation stories for a vital collective future. This vision has included community engaged processes to cultivate and imagine a sustainable and regenerative future. Onstage and offstage, we are conjuring a journey in which all possibilities exist, in an exhilarating illumination of the practical, spiritual and cultural aspects of renewable energy.
