source water

THE PROJECT: Vertical dance artists Juan Leiba and Amelia Rudolph are creating a new work to premiere in 2024 that dives into the elemental, environmental and biological ways that water is our source. It investigates and celebrates how our future depends on mending the many ways we divert, subvert and damn its life supporting power. Through dance, on and off the ground using harnessed techniques, Source Water will be shared in a range of artistic manifestations including film, demonstrations and touring performances.
