National Water Dance 2020
Saturday was National Water Dance 2020, a day to honor our earth's water and give gratitude to the land while sharing in a collective dance across the country. Here is the full video of our work, featuring dance based on my work, Like Water.
Danced by Lucia Gagliardone, Shayna Olsan, Siena Wiedmann, Emma Dewey, Lydia Roe, Kitrea Takata-Glushkoff, and Lucy Sydel in Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, and California.
Music: Arvo Part, Spiegel Im Spiegel
Honoring this water has never felt so sacred, so profound. We dance with the country, in the same artistic space as millions, bodies coexisting and swirling around in the fresh air like the tide rolls over the rocks. Thank you. For the sustenance you give, the power you possess. The life you nourish. Thank you to this body, my body, our bodies together. I can feel our touch even as we stand at a distance. A palpable shared heartbeat. I feel very full, embraced with the love of this national dance and the feeling of being welcomed into this sanctuary. The water rolls over us and we float, light on our toes, yielding to the wet sand saturated with the receding tide. It brings me to tears. Thank you all for this dance.
Thank you to the organizers of National Water Dance, I am so grateful to be a part of this movement. A video with all the dancers for Like Water will be posted shortly!
