four ruptures is a dance in four parts - something about sap, undertow, drift-rift, ec(h)o - inspired by Terry Tempest William’s “Erosion: Essays of Undoing.” The work moves through the body as landscape, tracing how intimacy, grief, and ecology intersect through processes of undoing.
Each rupture reveals a stage of transformation: from the slow exudation of sap (what we give and what we lose), to the drag of undertow (what pulls us beneath), to the scattering of drift-rift (what separates and expands), and finally to ec(h)o (what reverberates and endures).
four ruptures asks: What remains after the body erodes? Can loss itself become a form of renewal? Through movement, sound, and light, the work imagines erosion not as destruction but as a deep listening—to the earth, to one another, to the echo that keeps us connected.
