Current Collaborations
Below are brief descriptions of our current collaborations and projects.
• The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World
This unusual collaboration between choreographer, photographer, videographer and composer is a visual and physical retelling of Gabriel García Márquez's the Most Handsomest Drowned Man Ever. The dancers, musicians and projections share the narrative in an intricate interweaving of live video-feed, projected film and photos, dance and live music. The intent is to capture Mr. García Márquez's blending of the supernatural and of ordinary reality and to draw the audience into an unexpected landscape.
