We challenge the notion of evolution that puts human as the center and objective of life’s purposes, thus permeating a utilitarian lens towards the world.

​We see the production of disposable values as a form of colonialism that is rapidly and tragically annihilating other species for the benefit of a very few.

As artists we are seeking positive actions to change the way we relate to our environment, and through dance we establish new movement values that encourage ecological balance.

EVOLUTION IS NOT ANTHROPOCENTRIC
by JOANNA STONE
JULY - AUGUST, 2015 outdoors and AT THE WOODS COOPERATIVE

During the summer of 2015, we held eight weeks of movement processes, with sessions of two hours each, open to the public, which included: contemplative dance, authentic movement, and contact improvisation.

Movement material researched outdoors was brought into the studio and was shared as a work in process with audience at The Woods Cooperative. The performance invited audience to participate in a walking meditation to start the piece.
