A History of Dirt
A History of Dirt is a dance for four women that considers how the past affects the present by presenting physical embodiments of human experience and connection. In the creative process and in performance Council investigates the body as a keeper of histories - a record of things we’ve done and of things done to us. The work explores the ideas that we exist in a web of histories - those of our family, our city, our nation, and that we are deeply impacted by this web, sometimes without our conscious knowledge, but our bodies know, carry, and remember. A History of Dirt endeavors to make a space to listen, discover and honor what the body is holding.
