The Sound of Migration

(2024)

The Sound of Migration is a fifteen minute, fast paced contemporary-modern dance designed to energize eco-activism. Inspired by animal and human migrations due to climate change and the resulting emotional costs, this four-part dance is set to original music by internationally known composer Jeph Vanger (Greece/UK). The four sections – Storm, Hush, SWARM, and Oasis – are danced by a cast of six, navigating an unpredictable world, 

Conceived in 2021, The Sound of Migration workshops began in Hartford, CT and New York City followed by research and development in Iceland in March 2023. Initial support was provided by the New England Foundation for the Arts and Connecticut Commission on the Arts.

The Sound of Migration has been presented at the Alvin Ailey Theater/APAP by Pentacle as part of the Producers Collective; Pentacle Presents Fall Forward/Dixon Place, NYC; Pentacle, Presents at the Performance Garage, Philadelphia, PA; 5×5 Dance Festival, CT; the Artistic Dance Festival, Longmeadow, MA as well as for students in Hartford Public Schools through Hartford Performs.
