JACCC and Entity Contemporary Dance present seed
When
Where
Description
seed is a multidisciplinary, multilocational, multigenerational performance piece that explores the collision of contemporary dance, projection mapping, and ikebana–the Japanese art of flower arranging. How can we honor and embody traditional art forms to reconnect with our cultural histories, the seed of our existence? Performed by Entity Contemporary Dance and Sogetsu Ikebana master artist Haruko Takeichi, seed examines the ephemerality of beauty and the cycles of fragmentation, destruction, and rebirth within both nature and society.
