Tidewater Project

The Tidewater Project with Tyler Rai, Tatyana Tenenbaum, Marion Spencer, Sophia Dunn-Fox, José Rivera will be in residence to work on their new dance project and community ritual which explores our relationship to forms of solidarity through memory and recognition of water and land. They will share some of their sound and movement scores for participation by others, and follow with a short performance during Dance Workshop.

About the Artist Collective
Tyler Rai is a movement artist and writer whose research questions how we embody kinship and relational empathy with the other/more-than-human-world. Choreographer/composer Tatyana Tenenbaum’s work employs breath, voice, fascia and musculature to excavate spaces of memory, power and transformation. Marion Spencer is an interdisciplinary artist (dancer, choreographer, vocalizer/sound-maker and educator), whose dances call for transformation through an undoing of ourselves, inviting us to feel, ask questions, and consider what else, both imaginatively and constructively. Sophia Dunn-Fox is a senior at Mount Holyoke College who began focusing on Contact Improvisation intensively in 2018; she has an avid interest in bridging the body knowledge found in dance with data science. José Alejandro Rivera is an artist, designer, researcher, and educator that is guided by plants, and often works with sound, maps, and audiovisual media.
