The gift of the runes was given to humanity by the god Odin. In an act of shamanistic self-suffering, Odin hung from the world-tree Ygdrassil for nine days until the secrets of the runes were revealed to him. Encoded within them were all the patterns of the universe.
The first act ~ RUNELIGHT ~ is a dance ritual embodying the sacred healing gift of the Runes. Out of stillness, movement arises, unraveling into time and space, and the Divine is manifest in the Earth-body. In the aesthetic traditions of Merce CUnningham and John Cage, elements of chance are employed within a choreographed structure.
The second half of the program features four separate Goddess Works. Between the acts, the dancers will be joined by an improvisation group, led by Tom Weiser. The program is choreographed by Sumi Komo.
Live Music by Eric Chapelle.
