Action at a Distance/Vanessa Goodman: Soft Currents
Soft Currents is inspired by murmurations – groups of starlings that twist and swirl across the sky. It brings together a group of dance artists to explore the idea of collective responsibility through a process of evolving text and movement-based tasks. The result is a performance full of spontaneous eruptions, compositions and delights, alternating between collective unison and individual focus. The work employs a slow touring model, collaborating with a local group in each location.
