Gentle Our Driftless Caravan (Composer & Performer)

Austin, TX August 2022

Gentle our Driftless Caravan is a reverie contemplating bereavement, lassitude, and water— untenable to the experience— with its dichotomies as essence of life and a prevailing force of nature. Performed by dancers Alexa Capareda, Siri Cyan, Taryn Lavery, Clay Moore and Oddalys Salcido, with a live score by Adam Hilton and Henna Chou, set design by Ia Ensterä and lighting design by Natalie George Productions.

“The score and choreography combine to suggest big emotions— separation, grief, love— and the farm setting roots the piece in a deep sense of place. It is spectacular and meditative, intimate and grand— triumphantly full of contradictions that work.”
