Strata
"Strata" is a duet that layers contemporary dance with arm-knitted textiles to evoke mysterious discoveries. Luscious choreography and improvisation blend to challenge the performers to uncover one another in real time.
Premiered in 2017, this piece has been performed at the Hamlin Park Fieldhouse, Ruth Page Center for the Arts and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
