WAIL is crafted as a poem for our present moment, weaving generative sound and movement together to capture the essence of shared experience in a time marked by dissonance. Delving into the intricate dance of navigating joy within community, six dance artists create a living score, intertwining physical and sonic compositions. The work draws inspiration from botanical distortions and auditory illusions to forge a sense of intimacy between humanity and the natural world, ultimately celebrating resilience in the face of chaos.
This transformative and timely world premiere sees Vanessa Goodman, an award-winning West Coast choreographer who tours internationally, continue to probe the interconnectedness of bodies, technology and ecosystems.
