Change from Within: Diversifying the Environmental Movement
There will be a public event on the evening of November 14, 2019 from 6:30-9:30 at the Seattle Aquarium. Tickets are on a sliding scale and people should select what they are able to pay ($0-$15). Please register at this link.
Change from Within explores the lack of diversity in the environmental field and solutions for improvement in the cross-disciplinary format of contemporary dance. Seattle researcher and choreographer, Jasmmine Ramgotra, creates a movement-based representation of interviews she conducted with leaders of Seattle’s environmental community over 5 months, including individuals in government, NGO’s, business, and academia. Using the interview audio as a sound score, and four dancers to communicate the message, the performance presents clear takeaways about how to create positive change on an individual level. The performance is typically followed by an audience and collaborator discussion to reflect on the piece collectively, focusing on our dissonances, insight, and collective inspirations.
To date, performances have been held at the at the Olympic Sculpture Park Paccar Pavilion and Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center at the University of Washington in Seattle. Both performances featured Esra Cömert-Morishige, Megumi Hosaka, Peter Kohring and Sean O’Bryan as performers/movement collaborators, and an original sound score by local compositional artist Eli Hetrick / HETRIK.
