Description of work

From Ze’eva Cohen, choreographer: “Set to sounds of birds, frogs, and insects, Rainwood is a forest ritual that brings alive the creatures of the wilderness in a brilliant symphony of steps, crawls, and twists. The dancers themselves become the music in a sweeping harmony of bodies and limbs. The dancers seem to be nature together and apart, nature at one with itself and nature in its multiplicity.”
