gorgeous creatures
A task based experimental score for creating and holding sacred space.
This is a generative dance, every time it is performed it is different.
This is a dance for darkness.
This is a circle drawn on the ground.
This is a vision.
This is a rave.
This is a dance for the forest.
This is a memory.
This is a meditation.
This is that dream you forgot you had.
An offering for the forest; for all that we've been through, and all that lies ahead.
