November 11-12 2011: Trailer from Resonant Streams: An Ancient Call
Eleven minutes of highlights from the performances at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York City. It features 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 of programs and visual art exhibit, 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, to our ancient roots, to our planet and beyond and to creative potential.

Summary: In an intimate theater, a showman clairvoyant brings his subjects to the stage and promises his audience a spectacle of “raw shame.” One by one he entrances his chosen ones, leading them to reveal their most abject and malignant drives. But when no redemptive moment follows, the audacious seer must confront his own worst visions.
