Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call is a site-specific audience-interactive multimedia dance that premiered November 11th ~ 11/11/11 ~ and continued on the 12th at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City.  It featured a cast of ten dancers, three live musicians, two multimedia artists creating virtual sets and costumes and guest appearances by visionary Continuum Movement founder Emilie Conrad and noted author, storyteller and African spiritual leader Luisah Teish.  Created for the Cathedral's The Value of Water series that includes a visual art exhibit open for viewing at the Cathedral until 5p every day, Resonant Streams offered an experience of ourselves as water, of our interconnectedness to all water everywhere, and of our origins in the ancient primordial seas.  As we as fluid systems immerse ourselves in water, we are able to release and recreate our form responsively as we connect through resonance to each other, to our ancient roots, to our planet and beyond and to creative potential.  

LiquidBody media “Touching Gravity 2/Tilt” is a 2008 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc., (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support was provided by Frank and Barbara Peters through the Medici Circle award at the University of California at Irvine.

Topia Arts Center presents a preview performance of LiquidBody's Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call on Oct. 16th at 4p at C.T. Plunkett Auditorium in the heart of downtown Adams, MA in the Berkshires.  Supported in part by a grant from The Wiilliam J. & Margery S. Barrett Fund for Adams, Cheshire and Savoy, a fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, this audience-interactive multimedia dance performance features 8 dancers, live original music by Nana Simopoulos, and two video artists creating virtual sets and costumes.  A co-production between Topia Arts Center and the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City, this production is part of the Cathedral's exhibition The Value of Water: Sustaining a Green Planet that opened Sept. 22nd and runs through March 25.  Admission is free. Donations to Topia Arts Center will be accepted.   Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call is about water – the water in our bodies, the ancient seas where life began, and the flowing streams that sustain us.
