Choreo-Ecologies, curated by Doria E. Charlson, visiting professor of dance, showcases works in development inspired by relationship of movement and nature. The student dancers will share their works-in-process on Nov. 7 and 8 at the Della Davidson Performance Studio in Nelson Hall.
Choreo-Ecologies is an investigative process undertaken by undergraduate dancers at UC Davis aimed at exploring the myriad relationships between movement and nature. “Choreo-Ecologies” invites audiences to consider the ways in which our bodies are entangled within ecological systems and how attuning to the way the world moves around us can offer us new perspectives on our relationship to the planet and all its inhabitants.
In collaboration with scientists associated with the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis, students have been engaging in choreographic research that is centered on the following questions: How can we attend to the choreographics of the world around us? How does/might our relationship to nature change when viewed through the lens of movement and dance? And, how can we use our bodies to visualize/embody/create/discover new modes of engagement with the natural world?
The performance is free and open to all. Due to space limitations, reservations are required. Use the links above.
