Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call is a site-specific audience-interactive multimedia dance that premiered on November 11th (11/11/11) and continued on the 12th at 8p 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 that opened September 22nd, Resonant Streams offers 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, our ancient roots, our planet and beyond and a creative potential. There was a workshop on November 9th at 7-9:30p for a 25 member Sound and Movement Choir that helped create resonance in the space.
