NEWTOWN, CT: Ballaro Dance presents "Embedded Memories" in a Vineyard
Company:
Ballaro Dance
NYC-based Ballaro Dance presents Embedded Memories, an illuminated dance performance taking place in the vineyard's lower field at sunset.
Inspired first by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery while highlighting the areas of breakage, golden accents illuminate these stories through numerous lighted lanterns in the installation ranging in size from 6" - 36" and inventive light pieces affixed to the dancers’ bodies. Deeper connections to Japanese philosophy and the process of healing have been explored through additional research and experiences in Reiki and Butoh. The piece is rooted in honoring personal histories through the lens of scars and their images which live permanently on, and inside of, our bodies. Investigating the memories and stories these imprints hold, we can learn from one another and promote community healing and shared storytelling. The dance piece continues to grow with each touring performance of the work through the Community Imprints contributions of the audience's personal memories and stories.
Following the illuminated dance performance of Embedded Memories by Ballaro Dance, audience members will be invited to SHARE in conversation with the Company dancers and have an opportunity to leave their own Community Imprints memory behind with a written, drawn, or photographed contribution.
