The dramatic landscape of a dry lake bed rimmed by mountains frames the dusty dances of “Where Once There Was Water.” Through undulating advances and retreats, the dancers embody the ebb and flow of water, an ancient memory in the cracked, sun-baked earth. As a haunting soundscape builds to driving beats, their momentum builds into a flow of graceful athletic power and acrobatic pairings that evoke images of a forgotten landscape. They sway in the wind as they wrestle with holding on and letting go, ultimately fading away just as the water before them.
