Halcyon

As part of Gathering in Christie Pitts Park with Meaningful Movement

Choreographer: Holly Buckridge & Priyanka Tope

Performers: Holly Buckridge & Priyanka Tope

Music: Say Your Prayers, Anoushka Shankar

A piece celebrating the process of growth, change and new beginnings. Each artist coming from different backgrounds of dance/movement worked together to find a peaceful and calm energy while exploring the shift of elements and equilibrium through exploration of movement, poetry and thematic analysis.

This process was completely done over Facetime and Google meets. The virtual aspect of this project pushed us as performers and creators to make a piece without ever meeting in person first. Coming from two completely different styles of dance, we were able to find a bridge that connected both kinds of movement together without losing the authenticity of the original intent.
